Are These Good to Eat...?

And you thought I was going to need a bigger shotgun but the hotel we stayed in Austin had swans in the lobby. In Memphis they have that hotel with ducks in the lobby. I guess in Texas you have to go one better, or bigger, or just go one to show them and for some reason if I identify with that mentality it makes me feel as if I am from Missouri. 

I don't know how it got started that you need water birds in your hotel lobby. I suppose there are web sites, face book and reality TV shows dedicated to the subject so it is possible we could know all. I don't need to know all but what I do know is that there were very large koi fish swimming in the swan pool. 

So next time I stay here I will bring a fishing pole. No need to bring bait. The hotel gift shop sells lures which come in floater and sinker models and look like a small piece of swan poop. You can also gather your own bait if you like. I do know there are TV shows, web sites and facebook dedicated to that subject
