The television stations in Austin are announcing impending tornadoes, hail, high winds, and otherwise dangerous weather. Consequently, I'm not sure I want to go out to eat dinner tonight. Last night, I had dinner at the Iron Cactus, designed to be attractive to folks who don't want to stray too far from their comfort levels...it works well for people who seek out Chile's restaurants, but who are ready for a truly authentic ethnic experience...right. I had hoped I could enjoy some one-of-a-kind fare, but my colleague isn't into the kinds of places I like. I could have left her to eat hotel food, but it wouldn't have been nice. Oh, well.
My desire for funky food won't be assuaged tonight, thanks to the weather. Drat! Austin, despite its transition from sleepy college town to high-tech city, retains some of its unique character, part of which includes its food. Maybe next time.
One of my brothers, who lives in Mexico, sent me an electronic ad for a duplex in Ajijic, but I could not contact the seller because I was unable to log in to send the owner a message. I hope my brother will try to get in touch with the guy to get more details, or will put me in touch with the guy. I'm still interested in buying a place in Mexico...if I can afford it.
My hotel room has a view of the dome of the Texas state capitol building...interesting view. If it weren't for the fact that the hotel building and surrounding streets are swarming with members of the organization we are serving, I would try to wander about a little in this area of downtown Austin (if the weather would cooperate).
I'm not in the mood to write. Maybe later.

Sr. Beitz hasn't called for a viewing. I expect that the unoccupied place needed a good cleaning before getting shown. I'll let you know ASAP.
