Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand but honestly we'll never stop this train

Greetings Austin! My name is Beau, I'm a new schoolteacher in town and I'm looking for a few businesses, offices, or individuals that would be willing to host some field trips for some very energetic, very eager-to-learn preschoolers. I know having 10-15 little munchkins running around a place of business might not be everybody's cup of tea but if I could get a few of you to humor me, I'd love for my students to be able to experience Austin in a fun and educational way! If you have any questions about what the field trips would entail, or are yourself looking for a preschool or daycare for your own kids, please feel free to reply to this post, or shoot me a private message at your earliest convenience.

Unrelated but equally important, I heard there was a place called The Bar that was looking for part time work but when I dropped by it didn't seem like anybody was home? Did it shutter its doors or did I just drop in at a bad time?

Last thing, I swear. Anybody out there do alterations or tailoring? There's something about this Texas air that's got my three kids growing like weeds. I swear the oldest has shot up half an inch since we've moved here, and it's only been 2 days. If there was somebody who was handy with a needle and thread I'd love to throw some hems their way to be let down.

Sorry this post became a sort of "catch all" to all of my newcomer problems...it's the first time I've had more than two minutes to myself since we got to Austin and if I don't get it all my questions out in one fell swoop who knows when I'll have the chance next?

Exciting news for Austin! After a lot of hard work and upgrades to infrastructure, Austin has been reconnected to the world wide web, following the "smart city" model to allow wifi access in all of incorporated Austin. Internet is now available via mobile devices and computers. However, unlike the Freenet services we've had for the past few years, Internet access is not free. Plans are available for a monthly fee of $25 and can be purchased for immediate Internet access.

Leadership is investigating the viability of maintaining the Freenet as a free city-wide communications system for those who are unable or unwilling to purchase Internet access in order to facilitate safety and communication. For the time being the Freenet will continue to run as expected and any further updates will be announced as they are made.

One of the websites that now works again on Austin phones is Instagram (remainstagram). I don't know about y'all but I'm going to go post my first selfie in three years!

I snapped a photo of the sunrise this morning and thought maybe other people might like a reminder that there can still be beautiful things amongst the gloominess of the city right now.

Citizens of Austin,

As we begin to move forward from the tragic incidents experienced during the September 2019 events, our office is nearing the completion of its investigations. Our intent has been to determine probable causes, identify known and likely catalysts, and create plans for prevention.

We know that as the days pass and people fall to the virus, we are losing important and loved members of our community. Know this is not something that I or this office takes lightly. The nature of our world today is such that blanket promises cannot be made, but our goal is to honor their lives with improved prevention, security, and city-wide strength.

We have been in contact with state and city heads from other regions within the United States as well in order to learn more about and identify best practices. Barricade reconstruction and reinforcements continue in earnest and the information we've gathered has led to an improved understanding of the nature of the zombie virus and how it spreads.

I invite all citizens to contact me directly via this Freenet post if you would like to learn more about next steps.

Yours,

The office of
Mayor Nina Clarke
Austin, Texas

So this pamphlet that was slipped under my door said that the recent outbreak the city suffered began with the transfer of infected saliva. I didn't even know that could be a thing... Isn't it weird how we've been living this reality for 3 years and sometimes it still feels like the first day? Scary to know that you can turn into one of those things without ever being bitten.

Guess it just means we have to be even more careful...

Mind if I run an idea by the both of you? There's a few abandoned gun ranges in the city, and enough personnel between the police department and US military that could probably use a working range to keep sharp. Probably some civilians that could use it to, and proper training.

Either of you think I'm on the wrong track here?

so i guess this stuff was supposed to arrive last month but we finally got our shipment of vaccines at the umcb!!! make your appointments to get them and if demand is greater than supply we're def going to be restocking asap!!! definitely recommend a flu shot at the very least bc winter is coming (but not in the game of thrones kind of way) and the flu is different than your common cold, especially affecting children and the elderly. plus, we're living through a zombie apocalypse so i'm pretty sure none of us want to be that person who died from the flu...

ANYWAY!!! make your appointments and i'm looking forward to seeing you at the clinic! happy october and here's to a healthy austin <3
