(Community Matters) The AAS reported earlier this month on rising crime in Central Austin. According to the North University Neighborhood listserve, last week, a man assaulted a woman inside the HEB on Hancock, trying to grab her purse from her grocery cart. He was tackled by staff and other customers, managed to get away and ran outside & into a waiting car with two others. There was also a mid-morning rape in Hyde Park just last month. Crime in Austin seems out of control. Steven and I are hosting Chief Acevedo for dinner next month; you bet this is my planned line of conversation.

(Community Matters) Yesterday afternoon’s nap has been extended. I’ve been in bed since. High fevers and chills, hopefully just the 24 hour type ST had earlier this week. Major bummed this leaves us out of Philip Berber’s 50th Birthday Bash. No doubt promises to be one of THE parties.
