Journeys of Dave Young on Ice - The Monday Morning Memo

Dave Young, Vice-Chancellor of Wizard Academy in Austin, risked life and limb to climb onto the Stardeck of the Wizard’s Tower perched on a plateau 900 feet above of the city of Austin so he could take this photo and make this video for you! Dave is Awesome. – Indy Beagle

I’ve been trying to learn who took this photo of Pennybacker Bridge in Austin on the same day the intrepid Dave Young was climbing onto the Stardeck, but so far I have been unsuccessful. The largest of those icicles is about 2 feet in diameter and 20 feet long. Not something that you want dropping on your head like a Chinese spy balloon. – Indy Beagle

“A faint wind, more like a moving coolness than a stream of air, passed down the glade from time to time; so that even in my great chamber the air was being renewed all night long. I thought with horror at the inn at Chasseradès and the congregated nightcaps; with horror at the nocturnal prowesses of clerks and students, ofhot theatres and pass-keys and close rooms. I have not often enjoyed a more serene possession of myself, nor felt more independent of material aids. The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle and habitable place; and night after night a man’s bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.”

- Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1878) p. 90 - 91
