Texas Gulf Coast

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.

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.

Hard Times for Country Boys

Quincy (not his real name–he doesn’t have one) had heard about all of the jobs in Texas, but they were all in the city–it was still hard times for country boys. It was hard sometimes just to keep his head above water . . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Naming contest:  Quincy is an assumed name; his mother left before he was hatched, so he was never given a name.  Please send us your name suggestions for our little guy (he’s about 3 1/2′ and lives in our front yard pond).  One point–we aren’t really sure if Quincy’s a boy or girl–he/she refused to sign the consent form for a more thorough examination. And just because a famous personality may be using a name, doesn’t mean we wouldn’t consider it. The winner will be chosen based on quixotic desire and whimsey, no logic will be employed in the final choice.  The winner will get a copy of my Gulf Coast Photo Tour, which is about 400 photos like those you see in the AGR everyday, but all are from our areas of the Texas Gulf Coast.  To send your name suggestions, just hit reply or send it to [email protected].  AGR now has about 300 regular subscribers.

Just Remembering

While driving his four wheel drive rental from Anchorage to Fairbanks to see relatives, it didn’t take Jimbo long to remember why he had moved to Galveston on the Texas Gulf Coast . . . .  David, Sf.G.
