    There is a Beaver Moon scheduled, plus a large portion of the Moon’s surface—about 83%—will pass behind Earth’s outer shadow, called a partial penumbral lunar eclipse. It won't be much to look at. Something like this, but what else to do.

    20201127_055636.jpg Austin keeps its "weird" reputation intact! The first time I drove by this place, over forty years ago, I thought, "What the .....?" (Pun intended, if your mind works like mine.)

    The Buffalo nickel or Indian Head nickel is a copper-nickel five-cent piece that was struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. It was designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser.

    Grand View Point Hotel. Built to resemble a ship in 1932, stayed busy until the 1970's when the public began to lose interest in roadside attractions, burned down in 2001.
