Minutiae Du Jour
I've been waiting anxiously for the documentary: The Natural History of the Chicken to arrive in my mailbox. I think today is the day. Yay!
Looking forward to meeting Junior. He is a tiny Bantam rooster that belongs to my Grandfather and is just learning to crow. I'd like to see him before he masters it.
Watched Cockfighter recently. Only Warren Oates could make enjoy a movie like that. Speaking of...there was a man at my hood meeting last night who looked just like Warren Oates circa 1971. I kept expecting him to lean over and ask the guy next to him, "What kinda sounds you like?" teehee.
I'm trying to be more civic minded so last night I attended a neighborhood meeting. There was a presentation by the city regarding flood zones and how they affect the hood. Basically I found out that many,many,many people in the Brentwood area have the same concerns I do and it felt good to know this. However, being highly encouraged by the city to purchase flood insurance was sort of worrisome.
I also learned that:
1. The City of Austin has a HUGE creek erosion problem.
2. A majority of the neighborhoods in Austin are connected by creeks and storm drains and there are very few areas that are not in danger of flooding
even if not on a flood plain.
