I never learned this concept! Great photos! "It is the same boiling water that softens the rice, which hardens the egg." It's not always about the circumstances, but what you are made of....

Those derricks aren't there anymore either...all knocked down by Hurricane Alicia in 1983. "Like a slice of fried gold!"

Who would have ever thought that the 70s would be "back in the day"? Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent.

I miss that place. It's a damn tourist coffee shop now, a shame if you ask me.
