Picture of the Day from Texas:

[Ilsa]

Really, this exists. I drive through a little town where this business operates on the way to see my dad.

[Ilsa]

1. Dammit, somebody look at my post. nt

[Xipe Totec]

2. Too funny

in Texas humor kind of way :hi:

[madinmaryland]

10. Everyone is watching Wheel of Fortune.

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

3. I always like to get a fifth when I buy my guns!

[Ilsa]

4. Buy four guns, get the fifth free! nt

[GOPisEvil]

5. Is that in Cut 'n' Shoot?

:D

[kentauros]

8. Dammit!

I was just posting about Cut and Shoot! :D

[blogslut]

6. What town?

This is my favorite local sign/Texas kitch:



Amarillo, TX. Been in business since 1947.

9. Double Shot is in Schulenburg, Texas. I'll post another pic from there

when I can take the time to stop and snap a picture of their K of C building. There is a statue of a uterus there.

11. cool

:hi:

[kentauros]

7. I looked at your post and had a chuckle :)

However, considering that we've got a town in Texas called Cut and Shoot, I didn't find it all that odd ;)

What part of South Texas are you in? My father's from Sinton :)

[Ilsa]

14. Victoria.

[kentauros]

15. Oh that's not so far away.

I see y'all all the time when I'm looking at the weather radar and all the nasty storms seem to hit there first. At least lately with these NE traveling fronts we keep getting...

Y'all are staying safe, I hope :)

[Ilsa]

20. Oh hon, I wish! We are so far behind in rain! Every time it looks

like it's going to rain it heads north of us. We've had about 2 inches since the start of Fall. Burn bans everywhere. Fires.

[kentauros]

23. Oh, I didn't know that.

I guess I assumed most of the coast was getting a low to normal amount of rain, from what I've seen through here lately.

My parents live in Dripping Springs and their large pond has pretty well dried up. They've been in that Hill Country drought forever, too.

Maybe instead of hurricanes this year, we'll get tropical depressions with just enough rain to soak everything and bring life back to drier parts :)

[Ilsa]

26. That's so sad about their pond. Dripping Speings is a beautiful place.

Their drought is a wee bit more severe than ours, but we are brown and dry. And the last two times we had hurricanes along the upper gulf coast, the rain skipped us.

12. There's another twofer in Uvalde.

[WolverineDG]

13. that's nothing

in my town in south texas, there's a lawyer who operates a gun shop out of his law office.....

[txwhitedove]

16. OMG! Lived there. When they were making town slogans, someone put

in the paper: "Schulenburg, the onliest place to be, first, already yet!"
Which, is typical speech pattern. Beautiful country though.

:hi:

[burning rain]

17. They need to incorporate a Baptist church and a strip club,...

and they'll have all the bases covered.

[jobycom]

18. They need one of them in the Capitol Building.

I'd like my legislators better if they were liquored up and packing.

[ogneopasno]

19. SO awesome. It reminds me of this Uncle Tupelo song...wonder if they saw the sign...

Uncle Tupelo, "Whiskey Bottle"

Persuaded, paraded, inebriated, and down
Still aware of everything life carries on without
'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles
Got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while

A long way from happiness
In a three-hour-away town
Whiskey bottle over Jesus
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now

There's a trouble around, it's never far away
The same trouble's been around for a life and a day
I can't forget the sound, 'cause it's here to stay
The sound of people chasing money and money getting away

A long way from happiness
In a three-hour-away town
Whiskey bottle over Jesus
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now

In between the dirt and disgust there must be
Some air to breathe and something to believe
Liquor and guns the sign says quite plain
Somehow life goes on in a place so insane

A long way from happiness
In a three-hour-away town
Whiskey bottle over Jesus
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now

21. We got Trinity Discount Liquor.

In Trinity, Texas.

Wonder if that's an Unholy Trinity. :shrug:

[kentauros]

24. Well, at least they didn't call it "Tritium Discount Liquor"

:P

[Lethe]

22. that sign makes me proud to be a Texican

and you wonder why no one's invaded the USA since Pancho villa and/or the war of 1812.

another funny texas sign i posted here a long time ago was a street sign at Bush St. and Coke St. (in college station)

i'mma go outside and hollar for a bit.

WOAH!

25. Lake Jackson, Texas

The intersection of This Way St and That Way St
