Goooooooooo SAINTS!

I’m not much of a football fan unless the Saints are doing something. Like winning. When I was growing up, I don’t remember them ever winning a game. They must have won some, but I don’t remember any. We used to call them the “Aints.”

But now they have won every single game this season! They’re undefeated after 13 games. This is so far their best season in the history of the Saints.

And guess who they play tonight? The Dallas Cowboys.

Guess where i live? Near Dallas!

Which means if the game is on at the Christmas party we’re going to tonight, we’d be cheering at all the wrong times. I probably shouldn’t wear my Saints shirt either, right? This is the heart of Cowboy country.

(That’s my Saints shirt I scored in Louisiana, needs ironing)

I’m anticipating war on Facebook between my Texas and Louisiana friends. I gotta go shake things up over there.

Collision of art, commerce, past, and present

There’s a shopping center near here with a bunch of cowboy days bronzes. I went there today to the camera shop and happened to have my camera with me. What a coincidence.

There are so many people there and so many cars, it’s difficult to get a shot of just the bronzes.

But I thought this one was funny because of the type of store it was in front of. Seriously, it’s a bronze cattle drive spread out right in front of a barbeque pit store.

I had to stand in the street to line it up like that and risk my dear dear life to oncoming traffic which was determined as hell to spend every last drop of Christmas money. There are sales and there are stampedes.

The next photo is just one part of a circle of cowboys around a campfire. I like the expression of wonder on this youth’s face as he listens the other bronze men talk. The Men’s Wearhouse sign behind him cracks me up.

I keep a fairly updated photoblog over at TheCuckoosNest if you like that kinda stuff.

I’ll be cleaning up some of the photos I took and will put them over there in the next day or so (all the good stuff goes there).
