            Last Monday Little Dixon and I took on the Houston Zoo.  Most of ya’ll know that I have a goal to take Little Dixon to every zoo in Texas.  He has a good start.  San Antonio and Houston under his belt (well diaper).  But, don’t think he is too young.  He enjoyed every minute, all 240 of them.  Dixon smiled, laughed and observed the whole time.  Let’s see we really liked the giraffes, baby and big daddy especially.  Then of course the primates put on a show, head lined by this huge orangutan.  The bat cave, oh the Komodo dragon, and Dixon especially liked the aquarium.  He loved the aquarium.  Where are the best public aquariums in Texas?  I’m taking Dixon to one of the best aquariums this June.  And of course, Dixon, is a Dickson.  We love to entertain.  We did our best for Cassie, Rachel, Charlie and complete strangers.  Dixon had a fan club, started at “The Eagles Nest”.  See attached photo.  Vern,  when was the last time you were at the Houston Zoo.  I recommend it.  Last Monday the weather was perfect.  This visit to the zoo reminded me of one of my early trips to the Houston zoo.  I believe I was about 4 or 5 years old and I was forever trying to catch those damn pigeons.  Chasing them endlessly!  Well, my mother was taking a 16 millimeter movie of me when I actually jumped up and caught a pigeon in mid air.  And, that was at the Houston Zoo.  Yes, Joan, Dixon and I chased the pigeons.  We didn’t catch any, but came damn close.  Dixon knows the object and I can’t wait for him to be more mobile.  I still have those movies somewhere.  Does anyone have a 16 millimeter projector I can borrow?  Some people who don’t really know me, I have to prove that I caught that pigeon.

 

            I’m up town.  I have a blog.  Go to www.TrueToTexas.com and pull up the TrueToTexas blog.  I have more photos there.  Check out the marquee.

 

            Between the rains, the Texas bluebonnets and 4 straight days on the stock market Dow Jones going up - - the real estate buyers have taken off their camouflage and are hunting prey.

            And, I’m hunting a unique Texas sunset 

 

Chasing the Texas sunsets,
