They don't really have two names - many of them were connected when Mopac was blasted through existing neighborhoods. Look at some old maps at the Austin History Center - it's kind of neat to see what used to be there. (Several old crossings of the railroad are no more, on the other hand - like one which apparently connected what's now Waterston Avenue and Quarry Lane; and another one up north of Windsor whose name I forget since I'm in fuckin' HAWAII right now, man)

When I moved here, Irish WERE the colored. BTW, Tim was in my car when I unsuccessfully attempted a similar feat. My lawyers prevent have admonished me from apologizing for both his brain damage and soiled trousers, as it might be seen as a tacit and semi-legal omission of responsibility for his condition. But, I swear, the sad fact is he was like that when I found him.

That's awful bleak sounding. Hope your luck reverses soon, Tim. That, or all of us jackasses magically parish before it really becomes a problem for you.

Obviously, I was not out driving that night. Because otherwise you would have hit me. Jackasses doing stupid stuff always hit me. The fact you survived is very possibly because I was at home.
