And some poor creature people keep claiming is the mythical chupacabra:

Looks like a mummified dog. ???

It doesn't look very well, whatever it is...

Part of the reason is obviously that its body sort of... Fell off.

I love that gothic revival style you only seem to get in southern Unites States, round tower things on the corners of buildings etc. I'd love to go there just for the fantastic, weird architecture.

EDIT: woops. got the embed image thing wrong.

The building there on the corner is now an antique store but was once a busy hotel in the late 1800s.  The old hotel (or whatever they called them in the 19th century) rooms are still intact upstairs and the lady who owns it uses it as storage.

That was a little careless...

The weirdest thing... The same happened to The Asmo at some point, apparently. But was so long ago, he doesn't remember... But there is hope for the bodiless thing yet!

LOL

Not the kind of thing I would want others waving across my niece's face.  

They could try and take a DNA sample of that thing, to confirm that it is a canine (probably a dog, it looks a bit big to be a coyote) jerky.

I am from this place:



Now...some may consider Sam Houston a Redneck, but that really isn't the case.  First and foremost he was raised a Cherorkee Indian (Yeah...ain't that hard to believe!) and he was against the American Civil War - Texas Impeached him for his reluctance to defend slavary!

Anyways...He tried.  He won some.  He lost some.   But...he tried to do good things.

Don't we all?

Huntsville, I-45.  Sam is one of my heroes.

My current place of living is in a small town in south Texas:



It's known for wildflowers, turkeys, cattle and other livestock:

There's been a recent boom in the oilfield here with the discovery of the Eagle Ford Shale which has contributed to a boom in local business, increase in traffic as well as bars and crime.

Cuero, Texas?

That's very interesting, Y chromossome matches that of the Mexican Wolf, while the maternal, a coyote. It's not manged. Hmm...

What an odd creature. ??? They should try crossing the Mexican Wolf with the female coyote and see what happens.

Cuero, Texas?

Yep.

The next step in evolution, perhaps?
