2014 San Antonio Rodeo and Stock show.


Did you attend the Rodeo and Stock show at the Freeman Coliseum? The wife and I attended in Valentines day and will be taking the Grandson tomorrow Friday 21st. Quick tip: if you wanna park closer go down I10 and take the AT&T center exit. That will take you the back way and you can park at the Phillips parking lot. Taking 35 south especially after 4 pm will put you quite a distance away.

This was our very first Rodeo and I went crazy getting footage of everything. My poor nexus 10 tablet, has been complaining about storage space ever since. I've already shared some footage of bull riding and music by and Tejano group that sounded quit awesome. I did not get their name but they had the people on the dance floor getting their dance on!!

The food was excellent, everything thing you can eat Texas style ( large portions ). The wines were great too although a little pricey but well worth it. From the reptiles to humans everyone appeared to be having a ball. I even got one of San Antonio's finest law men to say hello on camera. It was a good feeling to be in a great environment having good clean fun. 

Take your family to the Rodeo this weekend, this is your last chance until next year. Friday is military night so the fanfare will be in support of our troups. As a veteran myself I felt really good seeing new recruits sworn in at the AT&T center . Go folks you will have a blast.

San Antonio Freeze causes Derby effect.



am on my from SA to Gonzalez via I10 and having left at 5 am, I am still at the Marion exit 599 at 7:22 am. Over 200 accidents have been reported in the San Antonio area. Every few miles pick ups, cars are running into guard rails or ending up in the grass left and right. Both the interstate and the service roads are like parking lots with vehicles bumper to bumper.
I stepped out of my pickup and I immediately slid and almost kissed the ground. Driving if you have to, should be below 30 miles per hour even on the highway.  If you don't have to leave don't .
