The American, a movie review.  I must start off this post by saying that the person beside me in the ticket line said he went to see this movie and ended up leaving the movie early and asking for his money back.  That said, my expectations were low for the movie before it started.

This is one of the ponds th...

  This Chick-fil-A cow was a very unexpected discovery in Terminal A near the Frontier Airline ticket counter at the Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH), also known as Bush Intercontinental Airport.  Very clever!!   This railroad track is at the Denver airport near the food court for departing...

  Free Fun on Galveston Island.  Have you been to Galveston lately?  Well the Ferry from Galveston Island to Boliver is the best deal on the island in terms of entertainment.  It is a free boat trip -- and sometimes you can see dolphins swimming alongside the ferry.  There are about three ferries...
