For those of you here in San Antonio...who caught that storm last night? My mother & I were out in Castroville at the time it hit. It was calm...and within 3 minutes...I am not exaggerating...within 3 minutes the wind had picked up and the skies went almost completely black. 5 minutes later the entire town had lost power, the street signs were blowing around, and there were the beginning whirls of a tornado in the fields. It was...intense. But beautiful. Absolutely amazing. Once again, I must point out how one can feel the electricity of the storm in one's veins. Dramatic? You should have been there. It was awesome.

The chupacabras[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃupaˈkaβɾas], from chupar "to suck" and cabra "goat", literally "goat sucker"), is a legendary cryptid (a creature whose existence has been suggested but is regarded as highly unlikely) rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities.[2] The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1990 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail. Biologists and wildlife management officials view the chupacabras as a contemporary legend.[3]

Free Cop Holder With Drink
Movie Theater Durham, NC, USA

(A customer approaches the ticket drop, holding a half bottle of wine.)
Me: “You cannot bring that in here, ma’am. That is against the law.”
Customer: “What! I need to bring this in! I can’t just leave it in my car! There is a law about open containers being in cars in this state.”
Me: “How did you manage to bring it all the way here, then?”
Customer: “Oh, it wasn’t opened when I left. I drank it on the way here.”
Me: “So you had an open container and you were drinking on the way here in your car?”
Customer: “No! I hung the bottle out the window on the way here, and put my head out the window when I was drinking, so it doesn’t count!”
Me: “Okay, I’m going to call the police now. You wait here.”
Customer: “Okay! Is he going to hold this for me while I watch my movie?”
