A Capitol experience
Posted by Dirk on February 7, 2009
My boys and I took a trip to the Texas State Capitol today. Good times!
There she is (waaay up top), Lady Liberty perched atop loads o’ limestone. My son claims this is probably the most important building in the world!
AHHHH! It’s him. In the immortal words of Naked Eyes, “There is always something there to remind me.”
Some guy……literally. Apparently the folks at the capitol have no clue as to the identity of this fellow, as evidenced by the plaque under his painting—
a clear indicator that this guy was a serious underachiever. “Render a decision, are you shitting me? I didn’t get where I am to save the world. I came for the interns!”
The unfortunate aftermath of Jabba the Hut’s brief stint as governor of Texas. My son stands crying tears of joy on the site where one fortunate child was rescued by Lando Calrissian and transported back to Cloud City to be released from her carbonite prison. Unfortunately, it is rumored she recently fell through the trash shoot while reenacting Luke’s heroic escape and is now working at a Krispy Kreme in the Degoba System.

Dirk, I really enjoy your style and story telling ability; excellent stuff. I look forward to reading more…finish the book. The Governor Jabba caption is the best. I’ve had the same uncomfortable feeling around those carbonite folks that seem to gradually be taking over our parks and city streets. Keep blogging. Dan
