Made my final trip to Austin to close out the apartment and, for old times sake, drove 36 from Brenham to Wallis. The drive from Brenham to Bellville is still very nice and I did not see any sign of the old radio station where I worked in 1979.

Between Bellville and Sealy was all road construction and from Sealy to Wallis appeared almost unchanged since then.

I used to take FM 1093 into Houston and it was a nice quiet drive until you got to Hwy 6 and it became Westheimer but now that is all houses all the way out to Fulshear. Not surprising since 99 didn't exist back then nor did the Westpark Tollway which starts way out there to service folks south of Katy.
