Gas prices in Texas

I was in Austin, Texas for a few days this week, and boy, gas prices sure are lower than in California!
This translates to 0.41Eur/l for unleaded petrol!

We voted



Technically it was Rita that voted. I'm not a citizen so I can't vote (can you say "taxation without representation"?).
So, being the loving couple that we are, we shared the vote. We poured over all the booklets that we received that detailed the pros and cons of the different propositions (25 different choices to make in this ballot, from the President to the local board of education).

On Saturday we took advantage of the opportunity to cast our ballot early. We waited in line for one hour, and then Rita filled the boxes and sealed the envelope.

If you can and you haven't yet, go vote!

Where we're at

We apologize for the long pause and will work on resuming normal posting soon.

Trying to explain why it's been so long. I guess the novelty of the new place has worn off. Now we just want to hang out with our friends. Our friends are half a world away. We feel a half a world away from ourselves.

Getting in the routine. Too much time spent in the car, in the highway. Too little time spent with silly people, with loving people.

I guess we have things to say. News on new jobs, new projects, new plans. We just need to figure it all out and adjust. Find out what we really feel about it. I definitely need to get back the cathartic feeling of posting.
