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.

Not sure if its true but I heard Houstin and Austin have more strip joints than even Las Vegas.

I've heard mixed things about San Antonio, but Wichita Falls is tiny! Like 100k people?

OUCH!

If 100, 000 people is a small place then what is my hometown? we have 2,500.



'cept for Sept 15- Oct 15. Foliage season. We go to 4000 then.

My big problem with Texas isn't the people, it's this odd attitude. Particularly from people who don't live there.

Guy: Dude! Don't mess with Texas!
Me: Um, you were born in Indiana. Have you ever even been to Texas?
Guy: No, why?

In part why I poke fun at it. At least everyone recognizes Texas as a state. There are people that think Vermont is a county of NY.

National Poetry Slam Dance competition? I'm there!

There is no dancing involved.

The slam comes from the audience's reaction to the poetry (similar to what Simon does on American Idol).

I've heard people argue that Milwaukee is a suburb of Chicago.

There must be dancing.

And nudity.

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)

The way I got to learn how to drive on ice was by my father. It was part of my "Constable" training.

We went into a cornfield that was covered with ice and snow in patches. He had me do 35MPH on it then without warning he applied the E-brake on me. I did well considering it all.

Not sure if I would do that with my kids however.....

That's ok. There are people in Texas who think it is a seperate country.

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

The secrets to driving in snow and ice-

Caution and Common Sense

No sudden changes in speed

No sudden turns

Ice forms in shaded areas and on bridges (especially ones over water)

Keep tires in good shape (Though I have gonbe an entire winter with bald tires)
