Today Evelyn went on a day trip to Wimberley, TX. It was sponsored by our apartment complex & the Assistance League of Austin. I’ve started uploading some of here photos. You can check them out here.

The big talk on the bus was the excitement over the new Texas self-defense gun law. Previously you could only shoot-to-kill in your home; anywhere else you had to retreat from a criminal attack. Now you can use deadly force “without retreat” in homes, cars, and workplaces. This was done, in part, to prevent the families of criminals from suing victims. As one article put it: “Sympathy for violent offenders runs low in Texas, underscored by its busy death row.”
