Sleet? That means Austin is shut down, no school, business, or beer unless you walk for it.

You're safe AFTER they plow the roads and the sidewalks. I was out for a walk in it today, as a matter of fact. :)

No. I actually walked to a restaurant that serves "my kind of food". ("We meet your special dietary needs".) Yay!! It was delicious too. First venture after five months.

Good to know it's there eh?
They would probably be glad to see you in that kind of weather.

Small little restaurant...Sat. hours are only 11-2PM (lunch & breakfast) There were about a dozen people in there and 3-4 came in just to "take-out".
