@RichOToole Ask everyone if they've seen a show and if so where...I'll start.
Outlaw Dave's Bikes on the Bayou a few years back. You asked me where to find Dave and where you could park your bus. Lol

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day is one of the most Texas things I've ever read: Last Thursday, a high school football game here in Texas was played under a Rattlesnake Advisory. It's true. Prior to Thursday night's game between Kaufer and Corpus Christi John Paul II, the Riviera Independendent School District posted the following announcement on social media:
"⚠️ FOOTBALL GAME SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the increased presence of rattlesnakes in the area, we ask all parents and spectators to please use extra caution while attending tonight’s football game.
For everyone’s safety, please do not allow children to play in the long jump area of the football field or underneath the stadium seating.
Please stay alert, supervise children closely, and avoid areas that are not designated for spectators.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe! ⚠️"
That's right: not a tornado warning or a heat advisory, but a rattlesnake advisory. Folks in other states might think that's crazy, but, hey, this is Texas and this is high school football that we're talking about. I can hear the conversation now: "Grab the lawn chairs and the snake boots, honey, kickoff is in thirty minutes.”😃
Thanks to Cindy Wood for letting me know about this.
On this day in 1786, frontier icon and Alamo defender Davy Crockett was born in Tennessee. He began his military career as a scout in the Tennessee militia in 1813 and was elected to the Tennessee legislature in 1821. After a turbulent political career, during which he split with President Andrew Jackson, a fellow Tennessean, and acquired a national reputation as a sharpshooter, hunter, and yarn-spinner, Crockett grew disenchanted with the political process and decided to explore Texas. He set out in November 1835 and reached San Antonio de Béxar in February 1836, shortly before the arrival of Antonio López de Santa Anna. Crockett chose to join Col. William B. Travis, who had deliberately disregarded Jackson sympathizer Sam Houston's orders to withdraw from the Alamo, and died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. No matter how many fabrications gathered around him, the historical David Crockett proved a formidable hero in his own right and succeeded Daniel Boone as the rough-hewn representative of frontier independence and virtue.
