On the morning news I learned about Bethesda, Maryland's water pipe breaking and flooding a street named "River Road." How's that for irony? Or is that a coincidence? I always get the two mixed up. Regardless, I hope the residents are OK and aren't offended by my brand of dark humor.
Just got back in Austin from San Antonio a few hours ago. It's intriguing how two cities less than two hours apart can be so different. San Antonio has that blue-collar, Catholic, conservative feel going for it, while Austin's that oddball liberal city in the middle of red Texas. As with any cities, they've both got their pros and cons. It's crazy to think that there's thousands of cities in the country and thousands more in the world. What makes one more appealing than another? Convenience? New challenges? Family? Job opportunities? Diversity? Or maybe it has the Food Network's best-rated burger joint. Trying to prioritize those reasons (except maybe the last one) has become quite the task the past several weeks.
But there's bound to be a better time to think about such things than at 3:33AM.
