  This is Houston. Houston sucks.
This is Houston.

Houston sucks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Headed out to Houston for the weekend. Seaberg needed someone to help with something for his work; I just wanted an excuse to get away. And not much else happened.
My only regret is that I didn't take my camera into the Jack-In-The-Box that we stopped in on the way home. There was a bug zapper permanently fixed to the wall...inside. On second thought, I am glad I didn't take my camera in. Too disgusting to even remember.

This morning I woke up around 6:30 this morning and headed out of Austin. I took this picture while sitting in a parking lot. Happy Halloween.


A beautiful Fall morning in Texas.

Rain starts to move in from the West. I continue to head towards the North, towards Ft. Worth.


Soon we intersect into the worst rain driving I've ever experienced. And I've been around. Still I did the only natural action and whipped out the camera. Not the safest thing to do while driving 30 mph on a rain-slicked interstate? You're right.


I'm back home now. Another e-mail from the Peace Corps.

"...Unfortunately the likelihood of your leaving this winter is
very
low. I believe you are much more qualified for a community development
program and at this point they are mostly full and tend to be very
competitive. I will be happy to investigate community development
program options for you leaving in the spring and summer time. When those times
draw closer I will be in touch again."


I don't know what to do now. I need a job. I need a direction. I'm starting to think that this sucks. Sure, there is the potential for everything to be fine. But as for right now, I'm not living that potential. And I'm not sure what move I need to make now to get to moving towards the right direction.
