21st century

I have always thought that life was about love, getting a husband that you will spend eternity with, having kids in a large house and so on and so forth. Now in the 21st century that is merely a fairy tail we tell ourselves at night to try and survive a day to day life that we fill with hatred, sorrow, and jealousy that we take out on each other every day even if we mean to or not. In the end we are just running ourselves into the ground with our selfishness starting with the regret that sits in your pocket right now that spreads rumors and takes up more of our life than our actual life does and with every generation its getting worse. I try not looking at that phone for a couple of days and found that what I was seeing in people was not what I was expecting they were just robots that didn't even realize your presents when they had that little rectangle box in there hand. I thought I would see something beautiful and inspiring not looking at a screen but all I saw is what our people have become how a five year old would rather play on his i pad than go to the water park when a family member graduates and you congratulate then through text when there standing right there. We do not realize it but times have changed and its just getting worse.

Austin weather records

Austins record low was -2 degrees in Fahrenheit and that was in January of 1949 since then we have not hit lower but get a little bit more recent of a record but for the highs in 2000 we hit 112F in September? To say the least we have a weird weather schedule. In general the temperature is low 40s to 70s and the highs from 60s to 90s and the month with the most rain is most of the time in May around four inches of water. Lately its been much colder than previous times staying in the low 30s sometimes getting ice and then the next day jumping back up to the 80s.

Exotic pets that you can own.

1. The Fennec fox: Acting like a breed between a cat and a ferret this tiny fox is the most common exotic animal kept indoors and as a pet.
2. Tamanduas and two toed sloths: If you want an animal that's a little bit slower that the average than these little critters are good for you.
3. wallaby: Similar to kangaroos but nicer and much smaller yet is still kept as an outside pet.
4. Muntjac deer: Said to be similar to the bot belly pig there are very loyal and smart. Being kept indoors to become a large house cat.
5. Bush babies: large eyed, small monkey that needs a little bit more care than some of the other animals on the list.
6. Capybara: The biggest rodent int he world can now wonder through your house.
