We had a brief, but intense hail storm this morning in Houston. I took this picture outside an office building, not far from the office.

Travis and I showed up at about 06:00 for the grand opening of the new Houston Highland Village Apple Store. When we arrived there were about 150 people in line in front of us. The time passed quickly until the exciting opening at 08:00. This is a beautiful store and it’s only a couple of blocks from my office!

2011 CreekFest Chalk Artist Festival
Today was the 2011 CreekFest Chark Artist festival at the Pearl Fincher Art Museum in Spring, Texas. This is a Flickr photoset of the pics that I took today:
Mikie was one of the featured artists and she got tons of positive feedback during the 8 hours that she spent working today. This was a really well-organized event and everyone associated with it was just delightful.

The morning commute
The evening commute
I can’t tell you how many times during my daily commute that I encounter drivers like these two that feel it is perfect OK to cut in front of you so close that you have to brake hard to avoid hitting them. And this, mind you, is without any turn indicator.

It’s been an exciting evening at the Willow house. First of all, Mikie found a possum hanging out in a bird-house on the side yard.
Then, shortly after that, we lost all water pressure at the house. Went outside to investigate and saw some emergency vehicles down the block. Found out that the water main for the neighborhood ruptured and they are having to dig up the street to repair it. It’s a work in progress.

365 Project
Mikie just told me about this cool site. The idea is to post one photograph every day for a year. I just signed up today – it doesn’t cost anything – and have uploaded a couple of pics. On weekdays I’m going to post pics of things I see on my commute to or from work. On weekends, anything goes!.
Asian City
We stopped by Asian City today. They have a couple of small, inter-connected Koi ponds out front.
Afterwards we went to the Barnes & Noble to enjoy a cup of coffee and browse the new book selection. I made a pit stop in the men’s room and was surprised to find this pile of clothes in the corner of the handicapped stall. Looks like enough clothing for several people. Mikie suggested the rapture might have come late and these were among the chosen ones…

Morning Walk
Got in an hour walk first thing this morning. By the time I got back to the house it was already hot outside!

It was an exciting morning at the office. Today was Mezeo Movie Day. We saw the new Thor 3D movie at the Edwards Greenway Palace 24 near the office:
Excellent movie!
Here are some pics from the day.
Oh, and it is actually raining!!
