Austin Space, Episode 2
Hi from Austin. I drove in yesterday. Passing through Lake Charles, the blue tarps reminded me of home. Feels a bit strange being in a fully functioning 21st century city; this is my first time out of the NOLA metro area since the start of October.
I'm picking up various stuff-- my baritone horn I left with a friend to make room in the car for hardwear supplies on the first drive back, and some mail sent here-- including a check from FEMA-- of course it only covers a small fraction of the repairs I've already had to make, but hey, helps. Also, a small pile of magazines (I hope they'll start delivering them in NOLA again with the New Year?) I'm bringing back mshollie's checks too-- but sorry, I couldn't find any of the corn chips shaped like maps of Texas at the HEB. Pretty good weather here now-- no ice stroms this week. A fair number of restaurants are closed for the holiday week, but I should be able to find a dose of Tex-Mex. Should be back home tomorrow.
