The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Well, 'Don't Mess With Texas' is a motto over here. It's to discourage littering and such. The phrase gets around, though.

Like I said, it's more the attitude by those not from there than anything else. But it's just me.

As for the weather thing, the one time you just had to be there, (It was an airport, so you had some people panicing about it, and others ignoring it with no problems.) Generaly I don't laugh when large misfortunes hit people.

Oh, and we also don't have tires that are any good for ice and/or snow down here. We also never learn how to deal with any of that.

Well, if you ever have to deal with it, just remember that a 2 inch strip of ice is just as safe to drive over as a 2 inch stream of water

Ice isn't slippery? Wait, do you mean 2 inches deep or 2 inches wide?

Hey, I'll defend Texas too. We have it pretty good down here, I think. At least, if you stay in Houston and Dallas. Two of the top 6 cities in the US. (Houston is #4 and I think Dallas is #5 but it might be #6)

We have amazing food, great cultural events, and a very diverse population. Houston is relatively safe for a big city.

Actually I hear that Austin is "the place to be" in Texas.

I haven't spend much time there, but I hear it's mostly music events there. Not that I dislike it, but it's not as much variety.

My brother will be competing in the National Poetry Slam competition, in Austin, in August

2 inches wide. Ugh, I would never laugh at anyone stuck in 2 inch deep Ice (though I learned to drive on 3-6 inches of packed snow)

National Poetry Slam Dance competition? I'm there!

Does it matter?

I remember as a kid laughing at the people who couldn't drive over the single patch of ice just outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth border. There were some people saying that it wasn't safe to drive.

My favorite is the people with 4x4 SUVs that think they can go as fast as they wish in the winter .

I wave to them as I drive by later and they are in the gully.

Snow and ice requires caution. It can be driven on but with caution.

What you are talking about is craziness. I know people that if there are snowflakes in the air they won't go anywhere.
