I'm blanking on the connection between Wee Bey and my pet vultures. He's the one with the fish, right?

Been nice knowing you, Zeus. Look at it this way: at least you'll be gone before the mayan calendar of doom expires in 2012.

This thread is easily archivable as is.

When he and D'Angelo shot Avon's girlfriend. The scene where Jimmy and Bunk recreated the murder scene while muttering curses? Wee Bey tapped on the window with his gun to get her to come close.

Wee-bey killed one of Avon's old girlfriends by tapping on her kitchen window one night and then shooting her when she checked to see what it was. D'Angelo takes credit for the killing when recounting the story to Bodie, Poot, and Wallace. He says "tap, tap, tap" when telling the story.

Vegetaion and Hills ? my image of Houston as a flat barren desert wasteland is blown to hell.

And the stone wall. Are you confined to a minimum security prison?
Yo Freed;

I'm in Austin, about 160 miles west of Houston. Austin's in the Texas Hill Country, which terrain-wise looks a bit like the Ozarks. Also, Houston is pancake-flat, but it's tropical. Lots of trees, lots of rain and humidity, kinda swampy.

The stone wall is part of a stormwater detention facility at the back end of the property. When it rains heavily, it fills up with water that's gradually released into the creek so as to offset the runoff from the building and prevent flooding Certain buildings here are required to have them.

Ah that's right, thanks.

In Greek mythology, the Vulture is the descendant of the Griffin. It was a very Buddhist-like, Zen-like symbol of the non-dual oneness of heaven and earth, spirit and matter, good and evil, guardian and avenger.
Seems very fitting for the lawyer heyzeus.

I'm an environmental lawyer. I don't deal in good and evil, I deal in whether a river authority's application for a permit to divert state waters meets the standards contained in Texas Water Code § 11.124(a).
