I found myself missing HEB when I moved back to NYC.

2017-01-22 07:38:49 UTC  

you didnt love the 4 hour check out lanes at Trader Joes?

2017-01-22 07:38:59 UTC  

I went to San Antonio and is was HOT!!!

2017-01-22 07:39:08 UTC  

Oh man I never shopped at Trader Joe's there.

2017-01-22 07:39:20 UTC  

Yeah it's hot in Austin too.

2017-01-22 07:39:22 UTC  

yea that applies to liek 99% of texas from march until november

2017-01-22 07:39:35 UTC  

This was at that river place.

2017-01-22 07:39:42 UTC  

the riverwalk yea

2017-01-22 07:40:03 UTC  

tourist... only go to the riverwalk when it's dark

2017-01-22 07:40:07 UTC  

THE BAT BRIDGE

2017-01-22 07:40:17 UTC  

My girlfrend of the time was obsessed in seeing that.

2017-01-22 07:40:18 UTC  

Yes... daytime was hot as expected...but it was like 90 some degrees at night.

2017-01-22 07:40:24 UTC  

yea congress st bridge is called bat bridge

2017-01-22 07:41:52 UTC  

I was there for work convention.

2017-01-22 07:42:06 UTC  

Like, I just bought land in the Big Bend and it's the hottest part of Texas

2017-01-22 07:42:27 UTC  

Well it was humid as hell as well.

2017-01-22 07:42:53 UTC  

And I was eating hot food and drinking.

2017-01-22 07:43:00 UTC  

So that probably didn't help.

2017-01-22 07:43:02 UTC  

did you get it for forty aceres and a mule?

2017-01-22 07:43:03 UTC  

LOL

2017-01-22 07:43:08 UTC  

Texas is the opposite of Michigan

2017-01-22 07:43:16 UTC  

Our winter is like six months

2017-01-22 07:43:25 UTC  

our "winter" is like 3 weeks

2017-01-22 07:43:56 UTC  

like they say the four seasons of texas are "almos summer, summer, still summer and christmas"

2017-01-22 07:44:24 UTC  

Naw, I don't need forty acres down there. In 2-3 years I want to live full time in Tennessee with my woman. Buying 50-100 acres in the sticks and building our house.

2017-01-22 07:44:32 UTC  

I'm already starting it in CAD.

2017-01-22 07:45:09 UTC  

oh nice, that sounds like fun, and building your own home is a great idea. better than buying a pre-owned house imo

2017-01-22 07:45:38 UTC  

i live in a shitty (well it's okay i guess) 2 bedroom apt wth my new GF. she just moved in 😄

2017-01-22 07:46:04 UTC  

rent's not too bad. 1180/month, electric gas cable all included in the package

2017-01-22 07:46:24 UTC  

I'm not rich, but lord i'm free

2017-01-22 07:46:25 UTC  

Houses these days are build atrociously. Buying something pre-owned in Austin I'd imagine is all inflated even.

2017-01-22 07:46:29 UTC  

Built

2017-01-22 07:46:50 UTC  

That's not bad for Austin at all.

2017-01-22 07:47:34 UTC  

no you're partially right mother. I think the property value in and around austin will start to skyrocked once the sane people start leaving california

2017-01-22 07:48:16 UTC  

that's why i'm so anxious to know if i get the job I'll be moving, and if i dont' I'll stay in austin and workon writing for some of the websites I've cntacted recently

2017-01-22 07:48:41 UTC  

It already has pretty much, skyrocketing real estate prices.

2017-01-22 07:49:45 UTC  

well if nicole and i pool our money, in a few years we'll hopefully get to buy in Bee Cove or seomthign like that

2017-01-22 07:49:53 UTC  

You think you'll get that position at Tulane?

2017-01-22 07:50:02 UTC  

(bee cove = beverly hills of austin)

2017-01-22 07:50:30 UTC  

sigh. i'm preparing my lectures as bast I can. but the truth is im a white male withougt any victim status

2017-01-22 07:50:52 UTC
