Always Something

It’s not crazy anymore to wake up every Monday and think: “So who’s going to try to shut me down today?”

Low and behold, again, Mother Nature won! Houston seriously went through an unbelievable snow storm. I didn’t believe the news about the weather, because it always feels more exaggerated than when reality hits, but this time they were spot on. I stayed up long enough Sunday night to see the freeway being covered with snow. When I woke up the next day, it was almost a magical site to see I45 (north & south bound) with no cars and completely white. Wow, just wow.

With that being said, we had to close Monday. I was set to work through the cold, but when I saw how icy the roads were, I quickly realized it was not worth it at all. Texas does not know how to act in low temperatures. Give us a hurricane any day and we know what to do… but low temps and snow… forget it. It’s funny because all these tweets and memes popped up about how “cold weather” is what will keep Texans inside to slow the spread of Covid. I mean, they’re not wrong.

But again, another “natural disaster.” Another event to dig deep for. One more adventure to endure to get us to the other side. Today we remain closed because Texas has a faulty electric grid causing millions to have no power on the coldest days in Texas, ever… Sticky’s Chicken fell victim to this power loss.

The best part of this? Of course we have to make our payments to the landlord because if we don’t, AGAIN they will threaten to kick us out completely. The vicious cycle is never ending.
