Austin 14 March
People mostly slept in today. Breakfast was the usual assortment. Pat and I went to a bike shop where he got his bottom bracket, crankset repaired. Lots of folks did minor bike maintenance with chains and tires. Also most of us had lots of dirty laundry to take care of.
In the evening, I went down the street and got some banh mi. Several of us went to the Ann Richards Congress bridge to see the bats fly off in search of food at sunset. It is a popular thing to do. These are Mexican free-tailed bats.
