South Texas Roadkill

As if deer were not bad enough, imagine running into one of these "bad boys"...

Luckenbach, TX

I visited Luckenbach, Texas today and was surprised to see that it is basically a one store/business out in the middle of nowhere...

Okefenokee Swamp

For you real dare devils, Okefenokee Adventures offers a three day canoe/kayak trip across the Okefenokee including two nights camping in the swamp.  Unfortunately, I am allergic to rattle mouth cotton vipers and therefore unable to make the trip...

Government Versus Individuals

With slight tongue-in-cheek consider the following:

If I obtain money from an individual or business by coercion or intimidation, it is called "extortion". If the government does it, it's called "taxation".

If I run a numbers racket, it is called "gambling". If the government does it, it's called a "lottery".

If I sell liquor without paying taxes, it is called "bootlegging". If the government does it, it's called "alcohol beverage control".

If I create a business that does not allow competition, it is called a "monopoly". If the government does it, it's called a "department, bureau, agency, etc.".

I am thinking of hiring this guy to deliver pizzas...
