Great, Austin’s first homicide for 2007 was near my house

I had no idea this happened on my way to open Kenny’s this morning. At this time of year, it’s always dark and I don’t pay attention to the Exit 247 underpass, unless it’s raining because the north lane floods. When Somara arrived at the shop, two hours after me, she told me about the police surrounding the area with that yellow tape.

Don’t worry for us though. Our neighborhood is safer than East Austin or the bulk of Houston. Homeless people and roving groups of modern Gypsies are frequently seen around major intersections near I-35 or MoPac. I’ve just never known them to murder each other and leave the corpse under bridges.
