N. Texas

I hear Houston is a crazy place! I like San Antonio though. East Texas is nice.

Yeah, we are far enough away. The only pollution we have here is horse crap. I should've said we are about two hours away from North Houston. That does makes a difference.

Oh well, it's where my feet are planted at the moment, but it's the longest I've ever lived anywhere.

Lots of beautiful country of every description and plenty of wildflowers - like me.

And - we have Austin!

You rebels!

I kinda wish Texas WOULD secede, since Texans are generally so damn weird about EVERYTHING.

And then the rest of the country could be spared from No Child Left Behind, which got its start right here where I live.

Amen sister!!

I love San Antonio and Austin.... I hate going to ft Worth for Nathan's specialist appointments... I get lost there!

[Manyfeathers]

Fort Worth is a walk in the park compared to Dallas.

Some Dallasites think that Dallas is cursed because of the assassination of Kennedy. Community thinking here is frequently 'backed-up' just like being constipated. I've been here 20+ years and they have been talking about a Trinity River project the entire time - yet - not one thing has emerged from all the talk.

San Antonio has it's wonderful River Walk, but Dallas just has HUTA syndrome (head up the ass).

[bellacola]

Houston has that, too.

[Manyfeathers]

Must be a Texas thing.

I'm originally from Wichita Kansas - they have a little river running through town and have a Riverfest every Spring, that lasts a week. So much fun!

Dallas is really missing the boat. Too many committees, and too many Dutch uncles.

Lady, I was born in Houston, too! We could be sisters or something...
Now I'm in Brenham....Blue Bell anyone?
