Life is a Bumpy Road

Austin, Texas. Travel in Texas. Life in General. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - - -Dylan Thomas

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Austin, Texas, United States

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

"Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." -Albert Einstein

Phil's Ice House

5620 Burnet Rd.
Austin, Tx 78756
Phone: 524-1212


Finally got a chance to get over to Phil's Ice House the new hamburger joint on Burnet Road adjacent to a new Amy's Ice Cream. They have renovated an old gas station/garage into a very cute and kitchy place. It's got really good burgers but the price is kind of high ($6.50 to $7.50 for a burger without fries). I do recommend trying the sampler basket where you can at least try 3 different kinds of burgers and some fries for $7.50. The burgers are made out of real ground meat, freshly made. So give it a try. It is supporting a Locally Owned Business! And besides that, once you get through with your burger you can just walk through to the adjacent building to get a scoop of DEEElicious Amy's Ice Cream.

I just discovered Howard Nursery was closed today. Dang! I found an article about it just now. http://austinexplorer.com/History/SiteDetails.asp?SiteID=47
Did you know that big metal shed out back is a hangar and that the site used to be an old airport? I didn't. I'm tired of cool old Austin places disappearing. Sigh.
