It got up into the high 80's today. Thought I was going to pass out while cooking dinner tonight. Very few houses have AC here. Not much need for it when you might only run it for 7 to 10 days per year.

ML, if you are in the North Dalls/Addison area and if you like Indian food, try Clay Pit on Beltline. Best Indian food I've ever had and they do a great lunch buffet. They have one in Austin too but don't know if it's as good, never been to that one.

clay pit in Austin is supposed to be the best indian food in town, according to yelp (not that people don't have their preferences for particular things). the place across the street from me, g'raj mahal, is supposed to be second best.

I don't think we'll be up in Addison, my coworker has been staying at the palomar kimpton just north of downtown and talked me into it. somehow they offer government rates, and they're in a decent neighborhood compared to anything closer to the TxDOT offices.

how about that F1 race, though? Ohmy finally turned out in your boy's favor High Five

I heard a lot of negative comments about Petrov, I'll be interested to see if that goes anywhere in the build up to the next race.

In my mind, this was some of the best of F1, it wasn't nuts like the first few faces, there was plenty of action with on track passes for the lead and strategy all playing parts, it was brilliant, IMO.

Yeah the race was great, so happy Hamilton won. He drove a brilliant race. woot

Did you notice towards the end there, can't remember which lap, it was Massa (I think, very tired right now) who had on the right front tire a yellow stripe on the inside and the left front tire didn't. The announcers never mentioned it. DH pointed it out to me. Might have been Alonso, not Massa.

I asked DH. He said it was Alonso and it was on the last set of tires he had before went onto the hard tires.

Bump in my hotel room in Dallas. at the Hotel Palomar, among the swankiest places I've ever stayed Ohmy my co-worker talked me into it, she stays here every time. I can't believe they give the government rate.

it's been super, super hot today, my head hurts pretty good, not sure why. here's hoping I get a good night's sleep, at least Faint

Bump another night in Dallas. was an interesting day. spent the first hour out in the field on top of the new calatrava bridge over the Trinity, great view of downtown, super nice bridge. I put some photos on my flickr page from this morning.

we had lunch at some frog something (in spanish) place east of downtown. it was pretty good, although they charged me for gaucamole that I never got Dontknow

another coworker from Austin was in town (we saw him on the bridge, not expecting to see him), we had dinner with him at an all you can eat sushi place, Tokyo One in Addison. they've been there before, it was pretty good, I have to say yummy I got my money's worth, I'm still full, and I got to try some new things, some of which was really, really good.

tomorrow will be less outside time, we're getting outside of downtown, so we won't need to walk around to check the ped accommodations, and they should be somewhat less complex projects in general. the person I'm traveling with has a meeting at 9am, I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to sit in on that or not Dontknow I might see if I can meet with somebody in the traffic section instead Whee
