Greetings and Salutations

Dillo: Shorthand of the Spanish armadillo ('little armored thing') Texan for 'speedbump'; also the official roadkill for the state of Texas. Secondary use as a form of delicacy in parts of Arkansas and Louisiana (see also ditch cuisine).

Quixote: Taken from Don Quixote, the crowning work of Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra; generally accepted to mean impractical, overtly romantic in nature, unrealistic; sometimes impulsive or rash (see quixotic).

To those who know me, welcome to my newest waste of time - it's good to see you around again. To those who don't, an introduction.

I come from the southernmost reaches of hell. Perhaps some of you know it as Texas in the summer months. Alas, our is not a dry heat. I am possessed of one college career, several hobbies, one instance of gainful employment (I work at a gun store - it's not near as awesome as it sounds) and a home resembling a large overturned aluminum can with wheels. If you aren't at least a little afraid by now, it's entirely possible you're as big a redneck as I am. Praying would be wise, as modern medical science has yet found no cure. Many condolences.

Until then, crack open something cold and pull your lawnchair up to the bug zapper. Bring stuff to grill. Bring your dog (not to grill). Bring your truck. Bring your gun, though I do ask that you unload it before you start rooting in the cooler.

Welcome to Dillo-land.
