Got back from Dallas yesterday. Lucky for me the traffic was pretty smooth flowing all the way. (We got out early, so I was able to beat the Labor Day weekend traffic.) The class was good, the hotel sucked–pretty much like last time, though less exhausting overall.

This weekend we’re going to stick around Austin, driving around the east side to see if there are any reasonably priced homes around. Generally, stuff east of I-35 is cheaper — and poorer. More crime, too, but a lot of that is relative. Crime by Austin standardds, not Chicago standards.
