"I would love to speak German. But unluckily most Germans here are too smart. They all speak good English and won't be able to speak German to me." -- Alex Chiu
Well, I have been in Houston since Sunday, and finally have Internet today. There are enough stories to fill several posts, but I have to get the work VPN working now.
To tide you over, here’s the stunning view looking out from my apartment.
The door’s too fancy for my taste but, at least I have your new apartment number. Nice wires, though. Looking at that dumpster name, didn’t they forget to put the “an” at the end of “republic”?

Grilled cheese tag was entirely for your benefit.
Just keeping you on your toes.
Can you really make lemons out of lemonade? That actually sounds like a wonderful food science experiment.
George: the pony comment is funny even *without* knowing what it refers to.
Awesome
I lived in Houston in 1978. There’s my grilled cheese comment on your grilled cheese post.

excellent view of the dumpster…at least you don’t have far to walk to throw out the garbage.

@Derek: So you were impressed with Houston enough to stay one year.
I see you’ve started to use the grilled cheese tag. The term is not as well-known as I thought it was.
@ookwelbekendalsemc: Thanks for finding the bright side.
@BDK: Yeah, you and everyone else.
@Allen: That is correct. And if you saw the Texans game Sunday, the turnovers are more spectacular as well.
@Grandma: I love hearing stuff like that.
@chessloser: Yes, making lemons out of lemonade. Er, switch that.
@l3rucewayne: The carpet is clean, but…well, that’s for another post. Too bad the trees are across the fence in the other community.
@Blunderprone: I had to look that one up. Hilarious!

@me: If they really were “Republican Waste Services”, they’d need to set up shop in Washington.
I know there’s a plethora of jokes there, but can’t think of any.
@Derek: Ah, thanks! Very touching.
