The photo speaks for itself. And getting an education doesn’t kill people, unless of course someone with a gun on a psychotic rampage comes to your campus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not 100% against guns, am 100% against crazy people with guns.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://opaldivines.tumblr.com/post/67755716509</link><guid>https://opaldivines.tumblr.com/post/67755716509</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:27:00 -0600</pubDate><category>gun control</category><category>why ask why</category><category>education</category><category>psychotic</category><category>rampage</category></item><item><title>“Sampling beer at the Blackstar Coop, the world’s first...</title><description>&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkwv5kN1O41qjpwtro1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Sampling beer at the Blackstar Coop, the world’s first cooperatively owned brewery”  Austin Texas USA    &lt;a href="http://www.blackstar.coop/" target="_blank"&gt;www.blackstar.coop&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://opaldivines.tumblr.com/post/67505808832</link><guid>https://opaldivines.tumblr.com/post/67505808832</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:15:13 -0600</pubDate><category>Austin Texas</category><category>Black Star Co-op Brewpub</category><category>Austin Co-op</category><category>Austin Beer</category></item><item><title>The Bandera Burger,,,,,,, It Doesn’t Suck!!!

&lt;p&gt;Bacon, Pepper Jack Cheese, Crispy Fried Onion Strings with just enough BBQ sauce on a Jalapeno Cheese Bun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s OK, catch your breath and we’ll tell you more. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go’s great great with any of the 40 beers we have on draft. We love and support the local Austin area breweries. They are making some good beer people, and the rest of the world is watching as the local Austin beer scene is growing into a big huge monster. RnR!!!&lt;/p&gt;

Surreal / Fine Art / Abstract. His artwork spans an array of different genres. Very versatile in his style. Jeff also does custom portraits. As he calls them “playful custom portraits”. Good Art!&lt;/p&gt;

It had a political agenda. In this 1966 (exact date unknown) photo is George Vizard and his wife Mariann on The University Of Texas Drag in Austin. It wasn’t long after George was murdered in a store robbery. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; This photo is also around the same time Charles Whitman went up to the clock tower and went on a mass murder spree Augist 1st 1966. The UT clock tower is just across the street from where this photo was taken. Curious if it was before or after the Charles Whitman incident?&lt;/p&gt;

It might look like a fairly easy job but during busy times it can be overwhelming, Show them the love, respect and appreciation that you would expect if you were in their position. A large percentage here in Austin are students working to help pay for their education, lodging etc…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patience is a virtue! &lt;/p&gt;

Especially on a crowded weekend night. &lt;a href="http://www.opaldivines.com/locations.html" target="_blank"&gt;Opal Divines bars in Austin&lt;/a&gt; all have big restrooms. You don’t have to squeeze your legs together, grit your teeth, or bang your head against the wall in pain. Walk right in, step right up. The ladies facilities are very accommodating also. Just sayin’&lt;/p&gt;

September 19th is Talk Like A Pirate Day. A idea thought up by John Baur and Mark Summers from Oregon in the mid 90s. Since it has become a worldwide yearly event to drink, drank and drunk, dress like pirates, and spill out some jibberish pirate lingo all day long on this spoof holiday. Booze, food and entertainment. Bring Your Camera!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opaldivines.com/penn-field/" target="_blank"&gt;Opal Divines South&lt;/a&gt; will let it all hang out on Talk Like A Pirate Day. It is all about fun, laughter, and having a good time&lt;/p&gt;
