Ohhh, I love San Antonio! Have you ever been? It's great. I'd walked the entire River walk when I worked a project there once. Beautiful place!

It is! Beautiful... and like 20 degrees cooler on the River Walk during the day... Wild.

The Alamo, though... is TINY! Expected it to be much bigger.

Nice dragon!

That is some great color. It seems to me women can color up better than men. Maybe they can just take the pain better.

Hey @Dirty Dog , do you have any information on diving Calaveras Lake, just southeast of San Antonio?

Not really. I find lake diving cold, colorless and fairly boring. There's just so little to look at.

Has anyone mentioned that you're rather disgustingly over-talented? Artist, cook, translator, author... what don't you do?

Now you know what I put up with. It's such a hardship.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

@drop bear, I think this explains a lot.

Image didn't post - often doesn't from my Fire, for some reason.

Agree. There is almost always a wicked thermocline. I have done some fun quarry diving, finding and exploring the old equipment left there. Very different dynamic though. I do not see an open water dive in the near future so I have to settle for what is available if it is worth the effort.

No sharks to wrestle...THAT'S why you don't like it...

Use to have some friends that were divers and they liked diving the Sacandaga Reservoir, especially the north end. There was an entire village under water there. And throughout the reservoir they would find submerged buildings.

I rather liked diving man-made lakes. There's a lot of interesting stuff there - old trees, sometimes equipment like you mentioned, and just geology that's unusual to see in a natural lake.

Last night of Mardi Gras.

We average around 8-11 miles walking every night....so my feet are killing me.

nothing can be as big as Texas Legends...

I don't speak French, except when it comes to ordering wine and coffee or screaming for help. It is a huge impediment since I love France and the French.

I am not a very great martial artist.

I am scared of heights and of the dark.

I am incapable of leaving a dirty coffee mug on the counter - if I find one, I always put it in the dishwasher (@gpseymour HATES this one!)

So, I have my limitations.

But I did just start taking belly dancing classes - so that compensates for some things.

Want to be disappointed.....go see Plymouth Rock....

Oh yeah.

I'm down here working. But from 3 am to 7 am we are at our favorite cop bar.

That's hilarious. I'm the one in our house who puts the cups in the dishwasher. Drives my wife bonkers.

My problem is my cup will disappear between cups of coffee. She's relentless.

I knew the medicine man for the Plymouth tribe in that area. He said that Plymouth rock is not even where the whites landed. It also really annoyed him that there is a fence around the rock. He said it's like a prison. Very disrespectful to the land.

They are dirty and left unattended.
