"Check out these creatures!" "What are those wierd appendages attached to their heads?" "I dunno, but they seem to be removable!"

Houston area weather forecast: High 99° F, with a 30% chance of rain. Some are reporting it will get up to 101° F.

In other words, more of the same from this past weekend. Thinking you might want a break from the heat, all I can offer is 7 seconds of cool, refreshing water:

Enjoy.

It looks like we have a Heat Advisory lasting well into the weekend. So, what can you do to beat the heat, while avoiding going totally nuts in the confines of your own home?

How about a visit to the Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science?

See a part of ancient China, without the 36-hour plane ride...

And while you're at it, why not stop by and visit with some old fossils?

This Monday isn't just any normal Manic Monday: it's the Monday after Father's Day! No ties for Yours Truly this year. Of course, there was no breakfast in bed, either (not that there ever was.) This year, it was all about the Peace and Quiet. I spent the day doing not a whole lot, though I did go out and visit the in-laws on Saturday, and had to go shopping for a few items on Sunday. And, of course, there was the obligatory Father's Day Dinner, celebrated at a local Tex-Mex place, for one very special reason:

Felix style Chile con Queso: 'cuz It's All About the Cheese

Yep, that is the world-famous (if your world happens to end at Beltway 8) queso dip from the former restaurant known as Felix. Former, because Felix closed its doors recently. But their queso dip lives on, having been picked up by El Patio, and currently being served at their restaurants on Westheimer (near Hillcroft) and on Brazos near McGowan (in Midtown).

As I pointed out, no ties this year. Which doesn't mean "no presents".

I will be FLIPping out over my Father's Day Gift

Next assignment: go out and videotape all sorts of mundane stuff. Then figure out how to reactivate my YouTube account.
