…What it lacks in size, it makes up for in density, and random oddities. The place is full up to the high ceiling with — stuff. Stuff like shrunken heads and dressed fleas.
Last we left off with the two-headed goat and the shrunken heads. That’s a hard act to follow, no doubt. Perhaps I shouldn’t have lead with the heads. Oh well, too late now.
But, wait! There's more...Big stone heads.
If you say it fast, you may think it’s a reference to tall pot-smokers. But this is a drug-free blog.
And the stone heads are in Texas, where everything is big. I don’t know why everything is big in Texas, but it may have something to do with the size of the state. The state is HUGE so everything else probably needs to be larger to look proportionate.
So someone decided to duplicate the Easter Island heads.
But, wait! There's more...… I saw one item: a post stating the World’s Largest Blue Crab was no longer there.
What? NO giant crab? I live for seeing giant, wacky stuff like that. It just makes me laugh; I don’t know why. So I was disappointed to learn it had been destroyed by the big storms, removed, and buried (???) long ago. Ooh, I wonder where the grave is?
But, wait! There's more...The shadow of a Giant Armadillo loomed over us as we entered the flea market, pushing against the stream of fleeing fleas. I’m not sure what the state animal of Texas is, but it should be the armadillo. Ok, so I just did a little googling extensive research and came … But, wait! There’s more…

(see below) But – more importantly to many Texans – the Longhorns are a college football team. Many years ago, I watched football all the … But, wait! There’s more…
With an abundance of my much-missed Starbucks/any coffee shop and health food restaurants, Austin reminds me a bit of many cities in California. And there’s quite a bit of fun, wacky stuff to see in Austin, the capital of Texas – besides the big blue spider butt. This post was … But, wait! There’s more…
Arachnophilia = The love of spiders. I love spiders. They fascinate me – provided they aren’t in my house or on me. Then they terrify me. (That last part is very important… in my house or on me = dead spider. Yes, my love for spiders is fickle.) Do any … But, wait! There’s more…
Yeah, this happens here. Welcome to Cow Country.
Remember when I told you all how the bovine population outnumbered the human population in this town by ten to one? Even knowing that I was still amazed (and rather delighted) to see this little brown calf arrive at the park on a boat.
But, wait! There's more...Everyone told me “There’s a naked man in Quartzsite, Arizona. You’ve got to go there.” Well, duh! Of course I do. My friends, and folks I meet on my travels, give me some of the best tips. I love you people! They were right, as usual: he was naked except … But, wait! There’s more…
How can you not love a town with castles, energy vortexes, fertility deities, and huge phallic rocks?! Sedona, Arizona has everything a traveler could want. Well, travelers who like men. Ahem. Shall we start with the spiritual stuff, and work our way down? Err, I mean south. Wait, scratch that. … But, wait! There’s more…
