WACO: The Rules of Engagement (extra: infrared footage)

The first full-length documentary film to present the complete picture of the series of events outside Waco, Texas during 1993 that resulted in the shooting of 4 federal agents and the deaths of 86 men, women, and children of the Branch Davidian religious sect.

A highly detailed examination of the interaction between David Koresh, his members, and Federal Law Enforcement. It shows how the FBI misled the public and American political leaders in order to focus overwhelming force on a group whose diversity of race, national origin, and apocalyptic religious beliefs made its members easy targets for lethal abuse of civil and human rights. Gripping and deeply thought provoking, the film provides America with something it truly needs - an opportunity to review the historical record of events at Waco. The findings raise doubts about the FBI's version of the story and their larger role in similar instances of law enforcement.

The San Antonio Zoo

A great zoo for kids and adults alike. Always a great outing for the family.

The Marble Falls Flood + "Welcome Home"by Coheed and Cambria

The Marble Falls Flood of 2007. Marble Falls is only about 60 miles from my home. Went up to Marble Falls a couple of days after the flood. The pictures in the video gives you a good idea of the destruction by the flood. Something like 14 inches of rain in one day.

The Alamo - THE GREEN LEAVES OF SUMMER - Original Soundtrack By Dimtri Tiomkin

Texans didn't steal land from anyone. Santa Anna was a vicious dictator who killed more Mexicans than he ever killed Texans. After he abolished the constitution the Texans said "no thanks" and declared independance. Those Texans included men like Juan Seguin and Lorenzo de Zavala. That is why the heroes of the Alamo are so revered.

Beautiful Song that was on the soundtrack with the John Wayne version of The Alamo.



THE GREEN LEAVES OF SUMMER
Original Soundtrack composed by Dimitri Tiomkin, Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster. From John Waynes Epic Movie THE ALAMO. Also known as Number One Hit by the Brothers Four in the Early 1960..

lYRICS:
A time to be reapin',
a time to be sowin'.
The green leaves of summer
are callin' me home.
'Twas so good to be young then,
in a season of plenty,
When the catfish were jumpin'
as high as the sky.

A time to be laughin'
a time to be livin'
A time to be courtin'
a girl of your own.
'Twas so good to be young then,
to be close to the earth,
And to stand by your wife
at the moment of birth.

A time to be reapin',
a time to be sowin'.
The green leaves of summer
are callin' me home.
'Twas so good to be young then,
with the sweet smell of apples,
And the owl in the pine tree
a -winkin' his eye.

A time just for plantin',
a time just for ploughin'.
A time just for livin',
a place for to die.
'Twas so good to be young then,
to be close to the earth,
Now the green leaves of summer
are callin' me home.

Bandera Texas, the Cowboy Capital of the World.

The most beutiful thing about the area I think are the hills and the river. The river is crystal clear. you can see 20+ feet down!

Just an afternoon drive from Austin through the hill country.

Hurricane Ike - The aftermath - Galveston Island, TX

This video shows the aftermath of Hurricane Ike on Galveston Island, TX on Saturday morning after landfall. One of the biggest threats were fires, which were almost impossible to control given the strong winds. Check out the pre-landfall surf and landfall videos on the TornadoVideos.net channel.

Fredericksburg: A Texas Hill Country Jewel

Just 70 miles or so west of Austin and about the same distance north of San Antonio, Fredericksburg is ideally situated for a weekend getaway, or even a month-long sojourn. Fredericksburg is also the jumping-off point to the Hill Country's gorgeous scenery, often breathtaking in its colorful complexity. Whether it's catching the early spring Blue Bonnet bloom that draws annual, world-wide attention or just enjoying the rolling hills, limestone escarpments and green-canopied oaks, a drive though the areas surrounding Fredericksburg is a must.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah through Texas blue. Better'n than a float down the Blanco. Take a deep breath and enjoy the Hill Country whiz by.

Oliver Loving

My great great grandmother's sister was married to James Loving, one of Oliver Loving's sons. My great great grandfather was a Captain in the Texas Mounted Rangers and later in the Confederacy. His name was Captain Newton White. My great grandmother, whom I knew was one of his daughters. Her name was Lilly Dell. Great story.

Poodie's Hilltop Roadhouse Bar and Grill

Poodie died yesterday and this is in memory of him.

Poodie's needs no introduction to Austinites in the know. It seems like it is a long way out on 71 but actually when you get to 620 and the Aboretum in Bee Caves, you are two thirds of the way there. I'd say 20 miles out of town, maybe twenty five. You never know when you might run into Willie Nelson at Poodie's. They are tight and he and Willie have worked together for decades. Of course, like everyone, he has his detractors. People who do their job well, often do.
