I was rummaging through a box of papers and found this: my IBM flow charting template. Looks like I bought it from Wallace’s book store for $1.25. Wallace’s was on The Drag, if I remember correctly. (The Drag = the local name for the portion of Guadalupe Street that is across from UT Austin.)
Whew! I found it just in time! Just in time for the 80s, that is. Where are you 1984?

I adore sunrises.

Every summer, when the temperature climbs above 100 degrees and the humidity is about 90 percent (and stays there for weeks), I consider relocating to a place where it doesn’t get so hot. North, then. The mountains of New Mexico loom in my mind: high altitudes, low humidity, cool breezes in the trees; so dreamy.
Snow 24 Jan 2014
All it takes to rid me of that fantasy is the first cold snap of the central Texas winter. Our cold extremes last only a few days, but even before then I’m looking at the map to see where I can move to where the winter weather is milder. South, then. Brownsville, maybe? Unfortunately, I veto any place with “Hurricane Evacuation Route” signs.
That means that I’ll be staying right where I am and make the best with what I’ve got.

Wikipedia says that “the current official stadium seating capacity of 100,119 makes the stadium the largest football-only venue by seating capacity in the state of Texas, the largest in the Big 12 Conference, the sixth largest stadium in the United States, and the ninth largest non-motorsport stadium in the world.”

It's a long story ...
