Mongrels: the Texas Leg

This is from Murder by the Book—which shuttered up as soon as I was done, as the rain was coming down, and Houston’s understandably pretty water-shy this summer, and where we were was evidently a place that goes lake just when the humidity gets high enough. That’s the with-specs shot. Here’s the without,where I suspect I’m, for reasons not really know, explaining Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle to the tolerant audience: And yes, that’s a Longmire poster behind me. I so wanted that Longmire poster. Maybe Craig Johnson can have one sent to me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mr. Johnson. Dig the books. Here’s the same moment, different angle (i.e., more Longmire), from an old friend, Amy Howard:   Yes, I sit on tables like Beavis & Butthead’s teacher. Can’t help it.  Also, talking who took what photo: thanks to Tom Darin Liskey, for such cool photographs (those top two are his). Mine are always shaky and junky. His actually take things into account that I don’t even know what they are (light? composition? framing? these are all made up, I suspect. part of some conspiracy I won’t even guess at). Mine, also, tend to be not-existed. As in, I forgot to take any snapshots of signage or actually cool stuff. But, reason why, maybe? I got to sign a book for Charlaine Harris. This means a lot to me because the opening credits for True Blood kind of infuse every page of Mongrels. Also, that dude in the hat, sitting front-row, two pics  . . . → → →
