Jeebus...
And the hits just keep on coming. One-third of Texans believe that man co-existed with dinosaurs. Just over half don't believe man evolved from another species. And nearly 40% believe that the universe popped in to being about 10,000 years ago.
I think I just developed a permanent case of the Mondays...

Welcome to the Bible Belt!
Don't forget that Glen Rose, Texas is a short drive from Dallas. You can go to the state park there and get your foot in a dinosaur footprint like my picture here. Or you can visit the Creation Evidence Museum just outside the park.
Good ol' teaching of the controversy...
I was kicked out of the Creation Evidence Museum there. I'm not sure, but I think I regaled our group with this tale at the first meeting of the Accidental Historian whatsits society or something Dallas chapter.
Also, there are some nice hiking trails at the park there. If you go about a half-mile off of the white trail you can find a hidden lagoon.
I will look for that next time we go there, Al. My gf and I were planning on going sometime this summer when it was warmer and we could swim and do a little hiking around.
My picture is from there too. Geds you should go to the park, not the "museum". I would love to hear the story Al.
I believe you did. But I don't actually remember it.
Don't take that too hard, though. Big A regularly makes references and I say, "Who said that?" He'll then say, "You did."
So... when's the second official meeting of the AHASDC? We need to schedule it for some time that BeamStalk can get down here... (and, hey, any excuse for beer!)
Wait. We need excuses to drink beer now?
Man, I hate it when that happens.
I've found the older you get the more you need an excuse (until you get really old and you're just "eccentric" or "alcoholic" depending on your family).
I propose for the second meeting of the random jumble of letters we go to Glen Rose and go hiking and make fun of creationists.
As long as we get to bring beer, I'm there!
I've found the older you get the more you need an excuse (until you get really old and you're just "eccentric" or "alcoholic" depending on your family).
When does "eats animal crackers from the vending machine for breakfast" start to count as "eccentric?" Is it before 28?
As long as we get to bring beer, I'm there!
Step 1: Get drunk.
Step 2: Heckle the creationists.
Step 3: Repeat as necessary.
