Piker, maybe not this weekend but that’s a good idea. And you must go to one of the football games (incl.yell practice) before you leave College Station. It’s like going to Agra and not checking out Taj Mahal. You’ll not get tickets for the t.u. game but you can always try for the other Big 12 games, the fervor is just as intense.

Riya, I hope to crank it out soon. But why the interest in living in College Station? Moving here soon?

Bongo, yeah there is that shooting gallery and even a mini-hunt place…so Texan, right? I haven’t been able to find a ranch that we could go visit unless we are friends with someone who owns one. You don’t want to be found trespassing or you might find yourself at the wrong end of the shooting gallery.

Was in College Station briefly for an interview about three years ago. Was told by an undergrad that the main form of entertainment was the local shooting gallery ! Got to go around the campus and check out the golf course. The waitress at the hotel restaurant insisted that I visit the GWB library – but did not have time. The thing that stuck me most however was while driving there from Austin, I noticed these huge ranches.

Hmm, staying in a college town makes you all the more lethargic to go around. I’ve gone right upto Seattle (albeit for an interview) but am yet to get my butt off the couch to go for the yell practice, let alone the Bush Library. But yeah, I AM NOT going to miss it this season when t.u. comes down to kyle field (first this sem for hoops and the next sem for football). After finally getting an assistantship, I guess, it makes one feel a bit more liberated and able to indulge oneself in the world around. Tell me if you do want, we could go around to the Bush library (this weekend?) and in that way get to meet each other! (So much for living in a small place!)

Bloghopper, Sorry I lost your comment after I had to delete my previous post. Incidentally, I was unable to edit that post to correct the typo you pointed out. It seems there is some issue with hotlinked images from other sites.
