The wheels on the bus...
Sun 10.13.02 11:55am PDT #472
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayWell, it's time to go back to Austin. So we all get on the three busses, two of the busses start with no problems, but ours of course does not. So we had to wait for a replacement bus to show up.

The weather this weekend was perfect. It was sunny and warm yesterday. Last night, a cold front apparently came through. It's now a little cold, with gray cloud cover over the entire city. This works out pretty well as Sunday is generally pretty low key on this trip.

Surprisingly, everyone seems to be in pretty good spirits today...not too many hangovers.

We just drove through Waxahachie. Waxahachie isn't know for much of anything. But they have a really good high school team for TAMOAS (Texas Area Model Organization of American States...it's kind of like Model UN).

Gonna go now.

First off...OU Sucks. I just want to be clear on this. It does not matter what derisions you have for the University of Texas football, OU still sucks.

We're in the hotel watching the game. At this point, you may be wondering why we would come to Dallas to watch a game in a hotel room. Well, it's still fun. So there.

Anyhow, we've got fifteen people here making a lot of noise...and OU still sucks.

Just remember. First and fourth finger in the air...thumb over the other two.

Well, for the final leg of the trip tonight, I will be heading back to Dallas on the charter bus. 23 guys, 23 girls, and a whole lot of beer and liquor.

In case you don't know my girlfriend, this is Kristy. Everyone say hi to Kristy!

Well, I have to go now, as there are 45 people looking at me really funny.

Probably won't be many posts from me this weekend.

DFW Airport
Fri 10.11.02 1:15pm PDT #431
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayWow. I always forget what this airport is like. It reminds me of the pictures of Barnum & Bailey's Circus that were posted the other day.

But instead of lions and tigers, I've got monks and screaming babies.

There is, what appears to be, a tibetan monk, in his orange robes, meandering about with his small carry-on case. This I found amusing.

The not so amusing one is the screaming baby. I have heard a lot of kids cry, but this one is probably a top ten. The kid's mom is pushing the stroller around the concourse in large figure eights, with the kid screaming it's lungs out. Every once in a while, the mom hears someone in the surrounding crowd make a snide comment, and she starts screaming at them.. Now I know where the kid gets it.

So I am on my way back to Austin, to then board a bus full of drunken idiots (my kind of idiots) going back to Dallas for the big game. Why would I go through this craziness you ask?


For the busride full of drunken idiots of course!

I am about to land in Dallas. Though rumors flourished like mute cebus in a canoe, there was no 3G connection to be absconded at 20,000 feet. Of course, the great thing is that it doesn't matter.

While on the plane I have been updating contacts, working on my calendar, and sending e-mails; all of which will seamlessly synchronize as I reconnect on landing (or earlier).

I love this thing!

Austin Bergstrom Airport
Fri 10.11.02 5:39am PDT #418
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayI am currently in the Austin airport. This airport, until about five years ago, was actually the local air base. When the base was shut down during a flurry of base closings, the City of Austin jumped at the chance to not only build a long overdo, state-of-the-art air travel facility.

It also happens to be that the company I now work for, was responsible for the design of the paging and announcement system throughout the facility.

(everyone feel free to correct me if any of my notes are incorrect, as they are all coming from the crevases of of my memory, which may not be so accurate)

Austin Bergstrom is an international airport that includes service to Mexico.

this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayThe following events have now taken place at my office: 1) I show Brian (seen above) my sidekick...he oohs 2) I show Brian AOL IM on my sidekick...he aahs 3) I show Brian http://www.dangerporn.com/ on my sidekick... 4) Brian coins the following phrase: "The only thing better than porn, is porn on the go." 5) Me and the other coworker in earshot proceed to fall out of our chairs laughing 6) I realize that he's right.

I'm pretty sure that Brian should be in one of those beer commercials now.

So thank you Mr. 'Really ironic phrase that's right on the moneyl Man' for all you do. This Bud's for you.

this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayMy computer at work just crashed. Interestingly enough, it only does this when I am getting real work done. Oh well, it's the last day in the office this week anyways.

Oooh, windows looks happy again, guess I'll get some more work done.

TTFN.

Okay, so there's a couple of items on here that I didn't actually buy. Do you know which ones they are?

I'm preparing for the big bus ride to Dallas this weekend. I think the only things I have left to get are rum, ice, the cooler, and maybe a surprise for my girlfriend. (Can't post what it may be, as she may be reading.)

I think a couple of these pics came out pretty nicely, but I think my favorite pic that I took today was my Wendy's cup. The blue looked really nice. I also loved the blue stove pic that got posted earlier. This camera can definitely be quirky at times.
