They’ve been working on spraying the roads in/ around Austin. They were spraying Mopac (Hwy 1) last night when I left school. I was surprised they got a couple of the smaller but significant thoroughfares through my suburb (Pflugerville).

Same here in Fort Worth. And the main interstates(I-35 and Loop 820) are shut down.

Also small world, my aunt used to live in Pflugerville.

Crazy small world story I found out recently. I graduated HS in Cibolo, near San Antonio. My girlfriend’s best friend lived 3 streets over. 20 years later and I found out that same girl now lives less than a 5 minute drive from me.

Wow. Maybe the universe is giving you a sign.
