...another great Traces Of Texas photo: Well now, I don't know a whole lot about rock superstars U2, but I know they have good taste in burgers! After they performed last week at Houston's NRG stadium, they stopped at a Whataburger on their way out of town. Here are band members Adam Clayton (in a kimono?) and Larry Mullen, Jr. posing with police officers outside. Bono and Edge were presumably still inside scarfing down a double meat with extra cheese, jalapenos, and bacon. Thanks to Traces of Texas reader William Mitchell for sending in this rather amazing photo. I have always had this theory ----- based on personal observation ------ that you never know WHAT you might see at a Whataburger after midnight, and this just proves it.

...busy at work & couldn't monitor the game .......... 5 goals on 12 shots - is that right ???
