statesman.com | Olympic park bombing suspect captured

Rudolph, who is now 36, has eluded capture for more than five years and set off massive manhunts through North Carolina mountains. Rudolph is charged with a bombing on July 27, 1996, at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta and two others in early 1997 at an Atlanta abortion clinic and gay nightclub. The Olympic Park blast killed an Albany, Ga., woman. A fourth and final bombing was attributed to Rudolph -- Jan. 29, 1998, outside a Birmingham women's clinic.

Dean and I took Max and went down to Corpus Christi Saturday. It was the first time in a long time that Dean and I have had the same days off. Dean actually suggested the trip a week ago. I agreed, as long as we could find a kennel or someone to watch Max. That was pretty much the end of it until Saturday morning.

As usual Dean waited till the last minute to put everything together. I found a few hotels that accepted pets around 10 in the morning and bookmarked it, but by the time he crawled out of bed most of the ones that had reservations available were booked. We did manage to get a reservation at a Days Inn (which wasn't too bad). Then we rented a car and by 6 we were on the road.

Corpus has changed alot since I left in '91 but some things are still the same. Lots of construction, strip malls. They still haven't finished the causway out to Padre Island. The Hidden Door is still the only gay bar in town. There are a couple of girl bars, but...

All in all though it was a pretty good weekend. Dean and I went to the Hidden Door Saturday night (I drove by it twice). We played a couple of games of darts. Sunday we checked out of the hotel and went to the beach for awhile. Max loved the dunes but hated the water. Then headed back to Austin.

Today was my and Mark's one year anniversary at Healthsouth. It was pretty quiet today. We spent my last 45 minutes listening to some kid singing the Pokemon theme song over and over and over while his grandmother was in therapy. He was still going at it when I left. I was going to call Mark a couple of times just to say "pika pika" but I figured he'd suffered enough.

This is a good time to learn about your environment, what's in it and how to use it.

Today's horoscope for scorpio (I'm on the cusp). Good idea. I think I'll start with the coffee machine and grinder.

The bodies from Victioria left for Houston last night around 8. Seven hearses and a van with a police escort. One of the guys came over to get a soda from our machine (I guess their's is broke). He said the bodies are going bad pretty quick.

AT&T Worldnet Top News - Bodies of 18 Immigrants Found in Truck in Texas

VICTORIA, Texas (Reuters) - The bodies of 18 illegal Mexican immigrants who died from suffocation and heat exhaustion were discovered on Wednesday in a packed tractor trailer abandoned at a rest stop.

They're bringing the bodies and the truck up to Austin to continue the investigation (I work at a hospital next to the coronor's office) and they were still waiting for it to arrive when I left at 9:00pm. Meanwhile, one block west in the park, there was a concert...

Today was a good day.

A mighty good day.

Not only because the smothering humidity in Austin had faded and my hair was showcasing its ability to produce the perfect spiral curl -- but more importantly because I was among the fortunate few at a screening for the long-awaited sequel to the original kick-ass Wachowski brother action film, "The Matrix."

At least she will like the movie.

statesman.com | Smoking ban goes to unsure council. If this passes you can add Austin to the list of cities where you have to pay a cover charge to breathe clean air while the smokers are outside breathing smoke on the tourists.

Just got an email from Jason. He's been working down in Corpus for about a year. He just started working with someone else I used to work with when I was stationed in San Diego. Not quite sure how I came up in their conversation (there's three years between my working with them) but it's nice to a part of me (good I hope) stuck with them.
