In Houston, there are no better routes, anywhere. People usually choose their neighborhood based on where they work.

True...true. A friend bought a house down in Pearland cuz it's nearer to his and his wife's work place.

yeah, well if i leave early enough i can glide right on through. there are 3 ways to get there and back. 45 to I-10, 45 610 I-10, or 45 and the belt. yeah classic man, the belt would work. it's an easy 15 bucks round trip in gas plus more in tolls if i take the sam houston. hell that's what i pay now a day when i work at the track. i take 45 to 610 to eastex freeway. the track is almost to the north belt so if you look at the map you can kinda interpolate the drive.

oh and tulip, i start working on that side of town? lunch is on me. how;s pappadeaux's or pappasitos? i especially love the hole in the wall mom and pop type restaurants though....i miss that side of town.

well now. here is something else. ZA called me about an hour ago. he has another job interview for me. this one is testing panels to make sure they are wired correctly. 6 more bucks an hour than i make now but like i have said before (maybe not here) no job is above or below me. whatever is asked of me i will give it my all and then some. anyway, he will be calling me back with more details.

Well, it is a bummer about the contract, especially since I don't get to go have lunch with you in Denver! I am glad you have this other one in the works, though. Keep at it, man. You will get there.
