315am this cockroach seemed as surprised to see me as i was to see him.
they everything is bigger in Texas, luckily this insect of the Blatteria order wasn't one of them.
street level view from Congress Avenue around 330am.
430am on 7th Street...not sure where he was going or where he came from. he was standing in the middle of the street for about 5 minutes before a police car pulled up and one of the policemen yelled at him "get out of the street". they looked at me and shrugged. i was waiting for the 5am bus back to the airport.
the bus came at 5am. back to the airport by 520a. through security by 535a. on the plane to Phoenix at 545a. take off at 6am. and sitting next to me was an Angel... another story for another time.
