Lot of you have been without far longer than me (28+ hours). You're exhausted by the pandemic, exhausted by this event where you just want some damn heat. You're exhausted by no gas at the gas station, by lines 100 people deep to get into the one open grocery store.
I got neighbors boiling snow on gas stoves to keep dishes clean because pipes are frozen. People are homeless in this. People will die because of this. We are all seething. I get it. And trust me the state's reporters are already surgically at work to unpack this disaster...
In the meantime, here's a bit of kindness I'd like to recognize. Thanks to two strangers I met today there are a few people in my South Austin neighborhood who have firewood tonight. So thanks Kathryn (don't know last name) of Eloise House,
who gave neighbors logs until she ran out. And thank you to Mike Burton of burtonindustryllc.com who spent all day delivering free firewood to the 78748. You restored my faith in people today.
