1. The weather in Austin is… how you say? Tres shitty. My driveway was iced over, so of course the first thing I did when I walked outside was step on it and fall flat on my back.
2. I’m going to Vegas this weekend, but I can’t stay through Monday because I’d have to take leave without pay from work. (I haven’t accrued any vacation yet.)
3. This thing is in a vein similar to that of Thing 1, but it deserves its own mention. I walked into work this morning like I’d just seen a ghost because the truck right in front of me slid on the ice and completely lost control. He 360ed a couple of times and actually went over the grassy median that divides the street. When he finally stopped spinning, he was facing oncoming traffic. The driver was going a normal speed, he just hit a patch of ice. Since I saw him sliding, I slowed down and changed lanes. If I hadn’t seen him, I would have driven over that patch at the same speed and spun out just like he did. Scary.

1. That sucks. Bet you would like that California weather right now, I had to put on a long sleeve the other night because it was 58…
2. Good luck in Vegas. Poker? Had a good night at Hawaiian Gardens last night in LA.
3. Few years ago in OK, I saw a truck do that but the 360 was probably not around the same axis. It flipped and I almost puked thinking I just watched someone die.
