This is one of the smallest towns in Texas with one of the most eccentric artists. His front yard has a huge, beautiful dragon made out of scraps from the vehicle graveyard. For reference, I'm almost 6'2".

Nice piece of art work! I would love to have it in my yard too!

Cheers. Hoa.

Thanks guys..I should have worn the leopard print sarong and got a big club like Bam-Bam's from the Flintstones. I could then have staged my very own dragon slaying...

I envy people that can take junk and make it beautiful..that's not one of my gifts.

I'm kind of like that. Sort of. I'm really good at taking something beautiful and making it junk!
