And the Sunsets
Ernest had been hired by the Governor to entice out-of-state businesses to relocate in Texas. The story was simple: Texas was tax friendly, business friendly, they had a good work force, nice climate, and the sunsets . . .
The Sky is on Fire!
Young Julio came into the house and told his dad, “It’s a good thing that the sky is a long ways away, because it’s on fire!” . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Day’s End
William (known by the media, and by whom he referred to as the stinking paparazzi, as Bayou Billy) was being called to Washington to testify before one House select committee and one Senate committee about proposed agricultural subsidies and migrant workers. As he watched the sun set over the bayou, he tried to fix in his mind how he would end the day when he was back home rather than how he would probably end the day in DC . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Texas Sunsets
Jin Yen Yau, now a Texas resident, had lived many places and visited many more, but never had he seen so many consistently, stunningly gorgeous sunsets as here on the Texas Gulf Coast. . . . . David, Sf.G.
End of the Rainbow
Within minutes of spotting the double rainbow, NOAA experts showed up to study the phenomenon, the CIA came to make sure it wasn’t some spy device or leak of national security, the IRS came to see who, if anyone, found the pot(s) of gold at the end of the rainbow(s) to make sure the pot(s) of gold/rainbow tax was paid (not long term capital gains, ordinary income), a delegation from Congress came to see if the pots of gold could be used to balance the budget, and Al Gore came to explain that he invented rainbows, so any gold would be his. Finally, the President came to announce that there would be no permits issued for using rainbows as alternative fuel, and Eric Holder said since this was Texas, they would be suing either Texas or the rainbows, it wasn’t clear. All in all, it was a busy morning . . . . David, Sf.G.
The Diffference Between Sunrises and Sunsets
John Boy didn’t mind sunrises, some were real beauties; but he really loved the Texas Gulf Coast sunsets and made sure to watch almost every night. His theory on sunrises was, “If we were meant to see the sun rise on a regular basis, it would have been scheduled later in the day.” Hard to argue with that logic. . . . . David, Sf.G.
