Portrait Gone RONG!!!

It's been a while since I've done a self-portrait. Way back I'd done one and two, and I've probably done something in between, but here's the third!!!

For the back story, a while ago I came across the tale of 9-year old Alice, who came up with some great captions for the New Yorker cartoon caption contest. Apparently they do the art for some cartoons, then you can submit your caption. Of all of them, this is the one that stuck with me!!! One day at work all the label printers and the wireless had all gone out, and no one could get anything to work. I checked on Slack, and a bunch of people were informing via that of the problems. One of my old time friends who's been there about as long as me was across the conveyor, and he posted something to the effect of "Everything is broken!!!" I seriously LOL'ed. When I got a free moment, I found this and showed it to him.

Eventually I made up a new card for my tray, and did my best to copy the artwork, and change it just a bit to make it a self-portrait!!! Changed the text to make it more palatable to myself, and the guy to be me, complete with 'skinned head, glasses, changed the smoke to a pen, and, of course, my 512 shirt!!! Not long after I finished it, I realized that, with the exception of the shirt, there's about a half dozen of us fillers that it could be!!!

Texas Flood

I could do a post about the torrential downpours we experienced....

While that may happen in the future, instead I'm doing the overflow of the top pictures I took!!! First up is another good shot of Coral the tiger, getting excited to see the keeper coming up to corridor.

The next three are from the hotel we stayed at in Austin, the Hyatt Regency.

I think it had the least floor space of the three places we stayed, as it had two actual beds and the other two places had pull out sofas, but it was far and away the nicest!!! Got some good pictures inside the room.

The next three shots are from the place we had in Galveston, overlooking the beach. Probably the best view we had of the three.

Sunsets of the gulf come out even better in pictures than in real life!!!

Second to last was the gray morning from inside our room, looking out. That one, and the last from the original 13 Shots post, plus one more, will likely be converted to black and white, and printed out to mount on the bathroom wall!!!

And the final shot, a selfie in the sphere atop the luggage cart on the last day!!!
