Everyone I ever met from Texas was cool. Virginia may be for lovers, but I hear it's dry. I know through friend that if you're gay or a pothead, you might find friends in Texas, as opposed to Conneticut, where you will be burned at the stake. (I lived in Hartford...I know) Thats how I judge a place... #1-do they have bud? #2- I'm not gay but if I want to kiss a girl, will I be arrested? And third and most importantly, can you buy a really really big hat?
Are Texans?

Re: Texas...
If you want some suggestions on the best beach to hang at (away from the tourists--where it is mostly locals, if anyone) or fund stuff to do in the area, let me know.
I am south of Houston and sweating my non-AC using ass off as I type now. Tempted to hit the beach tonight--doesn't that sound wonderful?
(Warning though--this is seaweed week--went out to the beach wed night and it seemed rather deep..... But if you pick up a clump and shake it, all kinds of critters fall out--I love to sprinkle the wiggly shrimps all over my dog and watch him freak out-LOLOLOL)

The beaches here have valid beauty just like the beaches where ever you go.
If Galveston were so "yeech" then how come it is a successful tourist town that fully recovered from the worst natural disaster to have ever hit US soil? (6000 were approximated dead on the island and another 3000-5000 on the mainland--depending on the sources.)
Galveston also has a major university and medical center. The nation's 6th largest, if memory serves correct.
Plus, houston is a 45 minute drive away--the nation's 4th largest city--with everything to offer.
And, of course, here you can get real cajun food OR mexican from a variety of places. We are close enough to both worlds to enjoy them. "Boudin balls, boudin balls, gotta gotta get me some boudin balls!"
We are hitting the camp ground tonight--have yet to decide where though......

Joe's Crab Shack...
AJ's just trying to wind you up.
Thanks for offering advice about the beaches. Galveston was the first place I lived when I left home. Lived behind the Kroger just off Seawall Blvd. There was an old WWII destroyer assigned to reserve duty over on Pelican Island that I served on. Was only there for a few months before it transferred to Pensacola.
I don't know much about the beachs, usually just end up parking on the Blvd and finding a place on the beach. When you live in a land where the sun equals a 60 watt light bulb it's all good!
Houston is an up and coming place. Several of my best friends ended up there after starting out in places like Chicago, New Orleans, and Richmond. There must be something going for it!
Me? I'm gonna pop into Joe's after I land and eat a bit of everything.

Re: Re: hahahahaha....
And you're right, Closet Desire. "Texas...it's like a whole other country" is an old saying. It's even a license plate option.
From what I've seen of this state, Texans are first and foremost Texans, not Southerners or Westerners. We started out as an idea before we even had boundaries (Tejas was simply everything north of Mexico) and now we occupy enough land that we don't need to claim geographic allegiance in order to define ourselves. And when traveling abroad, we can say we're Texans (not Americans) and people know what we're talking about. Can't say I've heard an Iowan be able to do that.
Yeah, but not if you melted it down.WriterDom said:
