The sick thing is that Austin is much, much better than Houston or San
Antonio. It's drier here (desert microclimate in part, sorta similar to
the rainshadows that occur in Washington) and we're farther away from the
coast.

The tourists here walk around at noon and take pictures in August. The
locals stay indoors planted in front of the A/C vents ;) One thing I have
yet to experience is getting out in the daytime enough here to make me tan
:) S'why I love 24-hr grocery stores.

I've always wondered if that works.
