Lots of places in the world yet to see, and many that I've grown fond of.

Enjoying living in Austin, but keep wanting to shift focus back to Munich. Torn between places and loves.

More to come here...

In the meantime, here are some things I love/hate about Texas (yes, using strong language here, something that's pretty common in these parts):

Loves

  • Three (3) growing seasons
  • Wearing t-shirts on Christmas day
  • Many months of weather in the 70s and 80s
  • Many days between rains
  • Affordable housing
  • Little to no ticks!
  • Fairly low humidity
  • The attitudes of the people (sometimes)
  • Variety in the landscape
  • Variety in the people
  • The open roads

    Hates

  • No winter snow
  • Wearing t-shirts on Christmas day
  • Excess UV rays from the super-bright sun
  • Barely any leaves turning in the autumn
  • Excessive heat and drought for months on end
  • Love of cars, roads, highways at the expense of public transit
  • The attitudes of the people (sometimes)
  • Excessive fences and walls
  • Too few public spaces
  • Too much distance between places
  • Study in Glass
