The weather was changing: the day that started clear ended up overcast and damp.

Taken across the street from the Texas Chili Parlor, referenced in the famous Guy Clark song Dublin Blues and almost literally in the shadow of the capitol building. (If you go to the Chili Parlor, order up a mad dog margarita and hum a few bars for Guy.)
