Big Sam

As I have previously posted, interesting things to me happen in waves. The past few days been quite interesting so I again have some blogging to do. I think the theme for the past few days have to be stopping and visiting the milestones of my life.

So it is interesting that I chose to stop and visit the statue of my distant cousin Sam Houston. This is from the Shugart side of the family that originated in Tennessee. To be honest I really needed a bathroom break on my way down to Houston, but I have driven by Big Sam quite a few times without ever stopping. It just seemed like the thing to do last Thursday.

He is quite impressive.
