We enjoyed a cool, crisp weekend - a little too nippy of a morning for coffee on the patio (unless one brought one's Snuggie along with the coffee) but the afternoons warmed up delightfully. Trimmed some trees to get ready for bulk brush collection next week. Domesticity is killing me.
Occupy Austin continues to be in the news. Police did arrest a number of folks after a quick rule change about food tables. Unlike Oakland, our folks lined up to get in the paddy wagon, got released and were back on the premises for the next afternoon rally. I do wonder, though, if this is a "leaderless, agenda-less, non-organized" protest, why are we getting automated recorded phone messages urging us to support the protest?
Shouldn't those big bumps in the roads be called "slow bumps?" Just asking.
I think it goes without saying that people who break the law aren't very smart to begin with, but what kind of stupid do have to be to steal a big backhoe from a construction site, like Austinites Steven and Teresa Labato did last week - and then try to hide it in their backyard. Next door to the construction site they stole it from! "This is not the backhoe you are looking for."
I was feeling pretty smug about my daily exercise on the treadmill - until I looked it up and found that the calories burned just about cover the sugar in my coffee. Sigh.
Asked for our favorite waitress at Chuy's on Halloween. They said she was not working. In fact, she and some friends and family were soon seated at the next table, being served by others. Seemed a little strange, especially when she asked her wait person how a particular dish was prepared. I wonder how well she tips?
And the Chuy fish dressed up for Halloween.
