Back to work today, via METRO Park & Ride, which worked fine. Light ridership and a free fare. There were many noticeable dark neighborhoods along I-10 going towards central Houston. Saw lots of BIG trees down here, there and everywhere. Some were on roofs, but many kindly fell on grass or other trees. That was thoughtful.
Alas, the restaurant in our office building was wiped out (all glass exterior). Should have made coffee at home.
UPDATE: 8:55 p.m. - Well, the ride home was more of a nightmare: about 45 minutes to go up Montrose, where few signals were working and traffic was heavy. We avoided Montrose this morning. Then a crawl west on the I-10 service road (no access to the HOV lane - closed). Most of the signals were out or flashing. Total commute time: 2 hours.
Many, many dark neighborhoods. CenterPoint has a lot left to do.
