Los Quentos

“Everything that is dead quivers. Not only the things of poetry, stars, moon, wood, flowers, but even a white trouser button glittering out of a puddle in the street… Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks.”

― Wassily Kandinsky

Abilene Roller Derby

I tell you what, some pretty good exciting times. It's there when you seek it. Made a trip back to Abilene this past weekend and planned it around Abilene's Roller Derby match against El Paso Tex Pistols. This was only our second time and make sure of it, it will not...

We brought some home. Christoval Winery

On US 277 just South of San Angelo, you‘ll hit Christoval, TX. Turn East and you’re driving through a quaint community lined with some eateries and handful of shops, keep going and the Hummer House awaits you. Turn West and you’re now strolling through Christoval...

The Pearl Cactus Steak House… Blanket, Texas

“The rest of the story.” So, I was surprised. I’d heard about this little steakhouse in Blanket, TX, population around 367 or so. Have been meaning to go check it out and see what all the hoopla was about. I was expecting a steakhouse, maybe a little rustic, a log...

Billiards at Joe’s

I've been here before, Joe's Bar and Grill in Llano, Texas, but I've failed to notice this cool pool room in, well, the back, you may say. What makes this stand out to me is you don't expect it, it's classic straight out of the movies. Walking into Joe's, you have a...

Garner State Park

Garner State Park. In par with all of the Texas state parks we’ve visited. Beautiful landscape to enjoy, well kept park, trails out the “wazoo” and plenty of fresh clean air to enjoy. Whether it’s a weekend camping getaway, in the mood for some river floating and...

An OG of Texas Grills – Backwoods Texas Style Grill

Cross Plains, Texas, population 926, about 1.2 sq miles, a handful of eateries, gas stations and a Dairy Queen. But, not sure if it’s their secret as you’ll find it right on Main St. but this little gem of a grill, Backwoods Texas Style Grill. Had stopped in early in...

Summer of 1973

On US 277 just South of San Angelo, you‘ll hit Christoval, TX. Turn East and you’re driving through a quaint community lined with some eateries and handful of shops, keep going and the Hummer House awaits you. Turn West and you’re now strolling through Christoval...

We Were Giants – Sprinklers

ONCE, WE WERE GIANTS (the sprinklers) Ingenuity. I’m pretty sure it was frowned upon, but damn if it wasn’t cool. Yes, pun intended here. Summers were hot, dry and windy. The center of the barrio here was Alamo Park, or later I am to be corrected “el” Alamo Park. We...

Harvest Restaurant, Comanche, Texas

Town squares, I’m digging them. A nice skip in the step which is reviving towns all across Texas. Bringing together the old with the new and you actually taste it! I found myself in Comanche, Texas and I need to go back to enjoy it all, and I will. But on this pass...

Rogue Kitchen, Wall, Texas

Nestled just Southeast of San Angelo, at about 11 miles or so, slightly off the Highway 87 you’ll find the Community of Wall. You blink, you’ll miss it. If you’re hungry or in for an adventure, I would recommend not to blink and give the effort to exit into the loop....

Larry’s Better Burger…

I’ve been past this place once or twice. Each time packed. Each time I imagined burger after burger being served, delivered...enjoyed. A soda in a wax paper cup, you know the ones, and maybe a side of greasy, salty fries. Yeah, I want one. Larry, I want a better...

A Moment of Perspective…life is the game.

I take all photos posted on this page and the SomeWhereTexas site, but this time I have to credit my youngest son. He showed it to me and I said to myself, "Yes!" Great perspective and moment. I try and encourage the boys to take photos as they see the moment and life...
