Puppy in the house

In Austin, it's not that unusual to find dogs or cats in either offices or other places of work and Bulldog Solutions is no different.

Today was General's day at the office and as you can see he was welcome with open arms. In fact, Sidney came into retrieve him probably 4 or 5 times. She'd say, "I need puppy loving!" and then off she'd go with General.

Here I found Sidney with General curled up with her as she learned to type with one hand.

What a cute couple!

Have I located a new dog sitter?!

Only in Texas - really?

My mom has always commented that only in Texas can you see the cloud formations we seemed blessed with.
This past Monday as I was coming out of a store, I looked up at the sky and was amazed at how breathtaking it was. Luckily I had my camera with me.

You've got to be kidding

Had lunch with a dear, dear friend of mine who was telling me how bad she is with directions and geography. But, you know, I'm certain she's better than poor Miss Teen USA - South Carolina. Was she smoking crack?

Take Me Away In Your Flying Machine

Charles and I ventured down to Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) in downtown Austin this evening to watch Redbull's Flugtag event.

According to Wikipedia, Flugtag is an event in which competitors attempt to fly in homemade flying machines.

Oh my goodness, I've never seen so many people. Charles' thought is there were probably 20,000 or so. I'm anxious to see the newspaper tomorrow to see what official estimates where.

It was incredibly hot in addition to being overcrowded. Our expectation was to go to the "official" side, but we quickly deduced that there was NO WAY to get through the masses to the other side. So, we finally settled into the spot where this video was shot and peered through branches.

Fun nonetheless, but we never saw a single contraption fly. I guess that's part of the fun -watching the crashes.
