I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1979. Whenever I wasn't studying to maintain my benchmark 2.3 GPA, I thought about studying while drinking beer and playing dominoes at the Dixie Chicken. The Dixie Chicken was THE beer joint on the Texas A&M campus, and after all of these years, it still maintains its status as the no. 1 hangout for the beer drinking Aggie college crowd.
Babs and I visited the Chicken today while on our way back from a wedding in Cameron, TX. The beer is still served in longneck bottles pulled directly from a trough filled with ice. They've added a kitchen and a back porch also. It was good to see the college kids playing dominoes and drinking Shiner beer and enjoying life in Central Texas.
Ask Elizabeth if she ever spent time at the Chicken...

Babs and my friend Jack, who was visiting from Spokane. Babs was thirsty in the Texas heat.
A good Texas Longhorn

Great shot of the DC of Texas...however, I do take exception to the Longhorn. :)
