Dave Thomas lived in a small apartment on Anderson Lane during the heyday of Willie and Waylon and the Armadillo World Headquarters in 1972. Unfortunately, he was only a year old. He's returned to Austin a couple times since then, most recently arriving from San Angelo in early 2002. He pays the bills as a copy editor and designer, but secretly longs to be a world championship barbecue cook-off judge. He drives a '98 Chevy pickup named after a Billy Joe Shaver song and loves a San Antonio girl named Shannon.

This is why I weep for the children …
I was making another run at the Barton Creek Greenbelt this week, when I saw two kids on the trail. Both of ’em about 10, 11 years old (I’m just guessing). Then one of abruptly stepped off a rock and fell to the ground, hard.
I took a closer look and the one that took the tumble was actually playing a video game while he was hiking down the trail.
He got up, brushed himself off, looking somewhat annoyed that Mother Nature had interrupted him, and kept playing.
As one of my volleyball playing cohorts remarked, he was probably playing a hiking video game.
