February Flashback

I wanted to wait until now to post this picture, now, when Austin's humidity mixes with the heat to form a tasty hazy brew that glues your testicles to your leg and your shirt to your back. I hear there's more and worse conditions coming up, but I also hear that the humidity goes away before it gets Sacramento-type hot, which would be good.

In February, when Corrie was off babysitting for the world's newest Dolman, here in Austin we got quite a little storm. It actually dumped some of the white stuff that we were more used to in New York City than folks are here. Rachel, determined to make a snowman, was fielding ideas for what the "theme" of the "display" ought to be. She came up with it all on her own.



The flippers are inspired, along with the sarong over the twiggy arm. The empty Teacte can came from our next-door neighbor, Ben, as our cans tend to be Lone Star.

A local news-person came by to catch a little footage of the snowman and do an interview, but we missed them.

The base ball lasted for almost a week, while the face was gone within hours of the snow stopping its descent from the sky.
