Happy 16th of September! It is when Mexico declared independence from Spain in 1810 (not Cinco de Mayo). So I guess we all learned something here in Austin. Rather than attend the local festivities (didn't really fit our schedule), we went to a local favorite ice cream chain, Amy's. It was neat, I had cocoa pudding ice cream (and a taste of Guiness ice cream). There was also a playground on site with plenty of opportunities to get dizzy. Weather was nice tonight; the highs have dropped out of the 100s (now up to 85 days this year) back into the 90s again. Scattered local rain in the area - we had traces at the apartment and outside the city got up to an inch in a couple spots. Rain chances continue this weekend - which will probably not really break the drought, but we'll take it. The big Austin City Limits Music Festival is this weekend - we're not into hot crowds or know much about the bands playing so we are taking a pass. There is no smoking allowed and no parking along the road shoulders in Zilker Park this year for fear of accidental fires. The regional fires are pretty much under control (some, like Bastrop, are still burning in place and are being watched). Much of the media focus here now is on recovery.
