Dang. I guess I will, next time we go home (Brenham).

I remember when we'd boat down the river back in the day and you'd see Hippie Hollow over on the side with naked hippies on the banks.

hippie hollow is still there, but it's on a lake, not a river.

*lake

Try going to Barton Springs. There's this old man wearing a tiny little speedo always doing yoga in the same exact spot. Also there's bound to be a few topless ladies (not the good kind) with hairy pits and at least one person playing the tambourine.

They're doing it to annoy you.

There was one summer where I stayed at school, living in the dorms. Typically, each dorm will have 2 or 3 floors open, and repairs are done in the rest of the building. They weren't supposed to start until 8am, but they always started by 6am or so. I was living on the top floor of the building, and one morning I was awakened at 6:30 by footsteps overhead... they were fixing the roof. (6:30 is not as bad as 4, but still...)

When it snowed, snow plows would be deployed around campus, and snow removal would start as soon as the snow stopped - day or night. So you'd be woken up by the intermittent beep beep beep of a snow plow in reverse. On the one hand, I was glad the snow was removed and the paths were (reasonably) safe by the time I had to go to class; on the other hand, I wanted to sleep at night!
