a small shop in Corsicana Tx
Did a little work last week in Port Arthur. It was a very strange place to be. Socioeconomically different from anywhere else I've ever visited.
Did have a good view of some cool ships coming down the chanel. View attachment 338535 View attachment 338536

Blue tarps, homes with no roofs entirely, just about the entire city needs a coat of paint, office buildings with windows covered in plywood. The plywood was so old and bleached it was probably 10+ years old.You still see blue tarps on roofs?
I used to do a lot of fishing down in the Sabine area & would see blue tarp roofs 8 years after Ike
Pictures or it didn't happen.I do DoorDash type food delivery in Austin. I hang out downtown because that's where the highest density of orders and highest payouts are. I see how the homeless f**k up our cities. I'm constantly panhandled. I see people smoking meth right out on the street. I see them freaking out when totally high. I see severely mentally ill people acting out all over the place. I see homeless sleeping everywhere, right on the sidewalks. I see small tent encampments surrounded by fields of trash. I see homeless people fighting all the time, sometimes extremely violently. I see them drinking, smoking, puking and pissing. And people just walk by it all pretending not to see it, acting as if it's normal. Which I guess it's become.
Make sure you get out of the city in your down time. Go out in nature and enjoy the peacefulness. It will do wonders for your mental health.I do DoorDash type food delivery in Austin.

Since retirement I seldom enter cities. The less time I spend in a city the more effort I make to avoid going back in one. I prefer to drive further to a small town than enter a city.Make sure you get out of the city in your down time. Go out in nature and enjoy the peacefulness.

Yeah, that's one thing I miss. There's not a lot of national forest or other open public land in the Hill Country. The public areas in and around Austin are pretty crowded. And there's an epidemic of car break-ins at the parking lots for any area where you can hike, like Mount Bonnell or Bull Creek Park. I'd much rather be living in one of the many great smaller Texas towns, but I gotta work.Make sure you get out of the city in your down time. Go out in nature and enjoy the peacefulness.

I occasionally see people with GoPros mounted as high quality dash cams. If I could afford to do that I could start one hell of a YouTube channel. The crazy stuff I see both on and next to the streets downtown would provide plenty of material.Pictures or it didn't happen.
JK the big city has actually become the place where civilization has decayed. The big city used to show off what our civilization has accomplished......

Lake Travis isn't far from Austin. Even with the lake low, the LCRA parks should still be open. There's also Pedernales Falls State Park out to the west of town near Johnson City. Beautiful countryside out there.Yeah, that's one thing I miss. There's not a lot of national forest or other open public land in the Hill Country.

Thanks for the tips. I've also found that just driving around in the countryside up around Georgetown is very pretty and calming.Lake Travis isn't far from Austin.
