Matt learned last night he had to go back to Texas City for the loading on Wednesday. As in tomorrow. Not excited about the prospect of facing another week plus alone in Evanston, we decided I'll just go with him! I figure I've got to check Houston out at some point, considering we might choose to live there some day. (Keep in mind, almost every city in America - with the obvious exception of Dumas, TX - is on our "we might choose to live there" list.)
In other news, I have not yet found a job, and my spirit just might be broken. Not quite as broken as it was in India, but bending toward a breaking point, nonetheless. Case in point: the other day I was walking outside and I saw probably four or five piles of dog poop on the sidewalk, and my immediate reaction was "Oh this is a metaphor for my life." Boom. Defeated. However, I will rise above this. In the meantime, I will go to Texas. Everything is better in Texas - isn't that how the saying goes?
Anyway, I don't really know anything about Texas City, except that it's in Texas.
Click here for a map. Looks to be close to Galveston. I don't know anything about Galveston either, but it is probably awesome. Better take my cowboy boots.
That's about all I've got for the day, and probably the month of October. Maybe I'll have something else to share in the next few days, as I'll be traveling once again! Even if this job is the worst, at least I'll get to visit my favorite place, O'Hare International Airport, two more times.
