howdah

From the Word of the Day:

howdah how·dah [hou-duh] noun

(in the East Indies) a seat or platform for one or more persons, commonly with a railing and a canopy, placed on the back of an elephant.

If a Texan greeted you while riding an elephant, it would be a howdy from the howdah.

From Texas Country Reporter



Now THIS is how we need to promote alternative/renewable/green energy production, not giving massive subsidies to huge solar companies who take the money and run. (declare bankruptcy) I'm still not a fan of direct subsidies/payments for solar/wind generation, but don't strenuously object to tax credits. (I'd rather see it coming from a state than the federal govt. though.)

Reflection of a Fool

You Are a Mirror
You are a very private person. You need your alone time to introspect and recharge.

You don't mind being around others, but you prefer to spend the bulk of your time by yourself.

You are a slow and critical thinker. You need to mull things over for a long time.


You hold yourself accountable for your actions. You are constantly evaluating your life and trying to improve.

Edit to add: This one sure was taken down quickly; had to find another version - hope it stays up longer than a day.

Edit, hope for the last time. That last vid was taken down, too. Good grief.

Stately Sandwiches

http://statelysandwiches.com/

From the website: Kelly Pratt - I’ve set out to make the sandwich for each of the 50 states as a fun way to work on my photography, design, and writing skills. It will be quite a delicious journey across the US. Before I make each sandwich I do research on the Internet, call local sandwich shops, and check out a few books to be sure I do my best to properly represent a state.

The choice for the Texas sandwich is brisket, and I wouldn't argue against that. Their reasoning?

When a sandwich starts with bloody marys and ends with tequila, it’s pretty impossible not to love.

Couldn't argue against that, either.
