| The Official Beer of Texas |
From agony to ecstasy. We dropped Libby off for her return to Seattle; a few tears melted our hearts, but the lasting memory was the fun we had this Christmas. Judy, Leticia, and I then went to Sam's BBQ for a slab of ribs to feed the Dave and Liz when they arrive. We had a few hours to spend, so we drove to south Austin (Where the Locals go) to the Little Longhorn Tavern for chicken shit bingo. Dale Watson, who I think is part owner of the bar, plays with his band, The Lone Stars, on Sundays from 4-8. During that time, there are three rounds of bingo. People stand in line to buy a number. They put a chicken into the cage. Where ever the chicken does his business is the winner. Tonight, Leticia won the second round. This is a tiny tavern. The place was butt to belly full, and the parking lot out back has tables. Besides, people bring their own lawn chairs. It's an event, all for the sake of chicken poop. What a hoot!. Even though another cold front is coming to Austin tonight, dropping the temperature from 68 to 48 in a space of four hours, people were outside the Little Longhorn drinking beer and having a good time. When the chicken was put in the cage, people gathered around, but no one is allowed to touch the cage. When TC won, she let out a Texas sized hoot, which means, well you know what it means. Life is good, especially today.
