haha that dude on the right.
Alpine is a cool little town nestled in the mountains and hills of the Chihuahuan Desert. Home to Sul Ross State University.
Life, in Sandberg’s vision of work, has gone entirely missing, at the linguistic as well as the polemical level. Except, of course, when one is at work.

this is either Bob Hall pier on North Padre Island or Horace Caldwell Pier on Mustang Island.
This blog inspired me to visit Padre Island and Port ‘A’ last fall. I think it’s actually my stealth favorite part of Texas.
