Septic what?

I grew up in a large city. Their sewer system was built a very long time ago. It never occurred to me that some people had to have a different system to get rid of their waste. Then I met a nice boy who also grew up in a large city but had a country house. I learned about a thing called a septic system. Out in the "country" where there isn't a Stop-n-Go around the corner, there is a big tank where all the poo goes to later be leached into the land (which seems grody to me, but whatever).

Now, come to present time and I live in Austin. And yes, I have a septic system. I find it highly ridiculous that I live in a very urban area and we have no sewer system. Leave it to Austin to not plan for this. Just like our wacko non-freeway system, sewer systems somehow fell to the wayside. So tonight, in the dark, my husband was hanging half-way down our tank hatch trying to fix some wires so it wouldn't overflow. I'm holding the flashlight so he can see and the smell is disgusting. So, thank you Austin for your lack of planning in so many respects. You rock.

Do they play "Austin is wonderful" commercials in California? Why are they all moving here? California is going to be empty soon. 99% of the Californians that I've met that have moved here have been entitled brats. And then they come here and complain. Go home. Go back to your perfect weather, no mosquito, excellent health care, earthquake-having state. Damn you Forbes and every other magazine for putting Austin on your top 5 lists. Please, I'm begging you, stop.

So I'm going to start writing more, even if it's not to vent but just to write. So here's to more blogging on my random blog...
