Sky flying wrestlers

A wrestler takes a flying leap at his opponent -- seeming to flaunt his personal safety -- at a Mexican festival in downtown Beaumont.

Fossil friend daubed in creative coats of color

This was at the Dinosaur Day at the Energy Museum in Downtown Beaumont this weekend.  Kids were having fun giving their ideas on what they days of yore looked like. In this case, you might just say it turned out to be a Dino of a different color.

A mazed

Our granddauther Sophie looks a little bewildered inside the maze that is the play fort at the Port Neches' park. The wood banisters provided plenty of cover for me to get the shot unnoticed. She got her bearings together pretty quickly and was zipping around adeptly in just minutes.

Surf's up!

Everyone that grew up in the 60's is a surfer, even if they've never touched a board or splashed in the ocean. It was part of what we would now call the "meme" -- the idea of wild and free in the salty spray and the hair-bleaching sun.

This truck at the car show at Crockett Street in Beaumont this past weekend caught the feeling and made it come real again. Notice the old metal Budweiser ice cooler in the back.

Lost in the Sixties today

Hey, if this doesn't send you back to the 60's you must not have been born yet. If it does send you back to the60's maybe it will help you remember some of the fun you had but forgot. Did you do the A&W scene? Frosttop? Hoppers?

The 1955 Ford Fairlane witha 472 cu in Cadillac engine was one of the dozens of cars at the show at Crockett Street today (Saturday).

Now how does that go? "Close your eyes baby, ....."

The sky is spinning

Do you enjoy being flung around the sky at about 4 or 5 g's? I guess the real question is are you more like the guy on the top coming at you or like "squeezy" on the bottom.
I found this picture from about a year and half ago -- it was a fair in College Stations.
