So far this World Cup has been a great reminder that we make too many assumptions about one another, and that the vast majority of humanity is awesome.
It's been pretty damn refreshing, honestly.
Why is someone intentionally throwing rocks at pedestrians and moving vehicles not treated more seriously? How is there effectively no immediate response to violent behavior happening in broad daylight?
I left Austin scared, shaken, and never wanting to come back.
Visited Austin for the first time excited to experience the city, trails, and local business community. Instead, on day one, I was assaulted on the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail at the stairs to Congress Bridge.

A man intentionally threw a large rock at me, severely cutting and injuring my arm. While on the phone with 911, I watched the same man throw another rock at a moving car near Embassy Suites.
The response? File through 311 with a two-week turnaround.
A man sitting at the top of the stairs intentionally threw a large rock directly at me, severely cutting and injuring my arm. While I was on the phone with 911, I watched the same man throw another rock at a moving car near Embassy Suites.
No matter what happens tonight, the past six months have been an absolutely incredible ride. Broke the drought, won a round, added a banner, potentially secured some individual hardware.
Biggest of all, city-wide passion is back. I would die for this team.
