Trip to STEM Fest at the Post

There are the pictures words later
I was up at two am and did not start coffee until five am.  This Taz looks a bit agressive and I really like the guy.  He is often depicted as bouncing around in a disconnected social state before entering that tornado state and getting things straightened out.
I did not have coffee out of the skyline cup,  Janet sees two or more landscapes here or perhaps I see them.
I saw a link from Khalil for tickets for the STEM Tech Fest and the weather is so nice I decided to take it and walk the East side of Downtown to The Post the platform could have been cleaner and there were a few folks there not on a great path.
I started out here close to home.
There is the old Majestic Theatre, it was one of three downtown theatres that showed first run movies.
One of the first murals we had in downtown, This is on the side a good place for jumbaliya or rice and beans.
There is a swimming pool up there on the top with a quarter round section where swimmers can look out the bottom of the pool.  I think that corner had The Cellar in the 70s.
There is old Market Square.  In 72 I lived in several places downtown including Mainstream, a Christian night club above Club Bojangles one block North.
Ballet Practice Building
A park by Buffalo Bayou
Looking back at the old M&M Building that has been added onto and is now The University of Houston - Downtown
Some ducks in the bayou
Another view with The Post
Condos now but I lived there for a while when it was a transient hotel.
Part of the skyline from the roof of The Post
View to the North
And North Northwest
Then here straight on at the main part of the old post office as I wait for the 85.

Facebook Post Making a post but I think I have choosen the format wrong.    Ah here we go, compose view.  And we begin as if we are exiting by all that candy and the General Store check out stand.  Someone with me wanted candy bars and also boudain. Brisket has a nice spicyness in the rub and this food riding home with us reminded us constantly that it had spent time low and slow with a lot of smoke mixing with the fat and muscle. There is a lot to have there and a lot to see.ee Now, I have had my supper sandwich of brisket on a slice of bread with mayo.  Very nice.

So what a crazy Saturday this has been.  That guy sitting there in the chair grinning at you had two other places in his mind to go as well as these three today but luckily his arithmetic skills diverted him.  Then the phone did not want to upload photos so he took that selfie and magic let all the photos be uploaded but not the same magic for the videos but maybe the stuff going out to the cloud and the Mac in the back room will play nice in a day or so. In the meanwhile we took our stations in a quiet garden off JFK and Beltway 8 I was on a bench in the garden and Cheryl was recruited to place a helmet but I yhought she was placing a rose so I missed that picture. There is pride and solemnness as the bell ceremony id performed for all the firefighters who have passed in the line of duty.  You can see part of the pipes here Councilmember Peck says some words After that ceremony and hopefully I can get the videos loaded on You Tube we went Downtown for energy day but obv...

So there is not a lot to say slice of bread, a bit of sauce, half a slice of brisket my wife was loving it Yes they have wonderful sides This is not about that, this is about going out to get covid test kits, not having the right card with me, going to get biscotti at Trader Joe's, checking Walgreens on the way back, getting a few other things we need. Stopping on the way home and getting one pound of center cut brisket. 10 pm bread, mayo, brisket, smell of smoke is nice, cold brisket, prime, my teeth and tongue enjoy the marbled meat. Smoked enough to fill the air, rub is likely standard sugar, salt, black pepper and another pepper with some heat but nothing major. Posted on twitter Forgot the distilled water but my stomach is full and the right card is in my wallet.
