Where do we go from here
Why yes, my vacation ended almost a week ago. Am I ready for real life? Well...

This will be an abbreviated week, but I'm gonna create four posts. And in the time I have tonight, I'm going to be thinking about things such as 1) Photobucket for con/vacation photos, 2) what I want to do besides work on this small Livejournal blog, and 3) other important things.

First thoughts about Austin:

1. Bus service in downtown is free and efficient.
2. Bus service in general is cheap.
3. Bus service one block outside of downtown is really slow. 30, 40, 50 minute waits? Yeah.
4. And don't get me started on the locations of bus stops. Many of them make sense. But there are others right next to trailer parks, abandoned storefronts, and (worst of all) half-destroyed motels that look like abandoned horror movie sets.
5. Not all bus stops have benches.
6. In fact, the three benches near Whole Foods are misleading. The actual bus stop is one block north, and lacks any bench.
7. Buses go a lot of locations, but not some of the places just outside of the city limits.
8. In short, I was semi-impressed. And I wished I had a car for at least one day.

Tomorrow: other thoughts.
