Cap it a toll

Me and Benny made a day trip out to Austin. It's my goal to force the best bubble tea known to man on to as many people as humanly possible. While he conceeded that it was acceptable bubble tea, Benny was unhappy with the cup lid and straw hole; poking a huge straw through the plastic sealed top of the machine generated bubble was apparently his favorite part of bubble tea.

For his half of the outing we went to the capitol building and wondered around. I'd never been inside the actual building before, it was part museum and part fun house. Everything on every floor tile, wall hanging, sketched window, doorway, seat cushion, and (litterally) door hinge was made to be unique and symbolic. I left with a sense of state pride and bewildered 'was-all-that-really-necessary' confusion. Also I learned that there are probably upwards of 5,000 lones stars decorating the building interior, exterior and surrounding grounds. Who ever decorated that place must have thought the lone star was like glitter on a two year old's home made get well soon card, there could NOT BE ENOUGH.
