A DeepGreen Factoid

[DeepGreen]

Did you know that the four most recent ferry boat additions to the Bolivar Peninsula servicing Galveston are each painted in the colors of the university of Texas, Texas a and m, Baylor, or smut. Totally disgusting and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I was down there this Saturday when I heard this news on a dolphin tour. The captain said they were painted the colors of the state's universities. Didn't know they limited to certain schools - I kept looking for a nice Pantone Matching System (PMS) 356 and White one, but came up empty. Saw the UT, A&M, SMU and one that appeared to be TTU.

On a side note, wear sun screen when partaking in outdoor activities.

UH is probably more po-ed than us - it's in their backyard.

I had no idea that smut and Baylor were state universities.

"Most of the ferries are named for former members of the Texas Transportation Commission and are painted the colors of the school they attended"
