It is warm though!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/8384536737\/\" title=\"#houston #tunnels #whereiseverybody! by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"#houston #tunnels #whereiseverybody!\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/8384536737_136760483a-300x300.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I finally found a decent sushi place and had me some very good raw fish and a couple of malted beverages for dinner and then made the long, cold, windy, dark, deserted walk back to my hotel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/8385325858\/\" title=\"#exxon #building #houston by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"#exxon #building #houston\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/8385325858_4109f515ba-300x300.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next morning I had a meeting with a customer and then headed back to Tulsa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ourworldtuesdaymeme.blogspot.com\/\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Our World<\/span><\/a>  <\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/zemified_e.png\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are in the energy biz you probably spend a lot of time in Houston.
