Say what you will about Houston, we have some stranger things going on from time to time… like teams of people in dragon boats, basically war canoes with fancy figureheads, paddling down the bayou. It’s a big festival, right at Allen’s Landing in the very heart of downtown, and depending on what else is going on it can draw a crowd… and it’s just not something you see every day.
It’s kind of fun, just a bunch of people out for a casual drift down the bayou….
Or maybe not.
Lock and load; let’s hit the streets.

Went to a sort of informal car club gathering the other night, and got my first look at the new US version of the Lotus Elise. It’s… different. And since I had my ditcam with the 17mm Tokina lens on it, I had to get a different sort of shot.
It’s a happy car. Looks like it’s probably about twelve kinds of a blast to drive, too. Can’t say I want one now, but there was a time I’d have been working my arse off to find money for one of those… maybe not in the GMAT red, something like a nice traditional SilverGrey or even BRG… yeah. That’d be cool.
