TEXAS

[ReinyDays]

Well ... you know how I feel about flatland ... but I was impressed with the general cleanliness between Houston and Corpus, folks caring about litter it appears ... Texans are braggarts but they do have he biggest hearts in the world ...

Really old fashion ... all this "m'lord"s and "m'ladies"s and the jousting, the hawks, mead, choking on all the pixie dust ... like it's the 16th Century ... no wonder Texas is conservative ...

Texas Renaissance Festival ... worth suffering in the 85ºF sunny weather they get there all winter long ...

There are three of these. One there, one called Sherwood nearer Austin in April, and one in the Dallas area.

Not a lot of pixie dust..in the 16th century~

Plague, smallpox, famine, rampant and continuous warfare---hmmm, I guess it does resemble Texas!

Where in Texas do they get 85 degrees all winter long?

I've never been impressed with Texas and don't really get the lure of it.

I never found but one thing of redeeming value in the whole state. The surf fishing, and truth be told you only have to go onto TX sand about 20 yards to do that if you come by boat.

I lived in Texas for 6 months and was not a fan of the heat or the desert like environment. Back then politics never entered my mind. I did find many of the people courteous and friendly, and Austin is definitely one of the coolest places I ever partied, but I find much of Texas to be nothing more than a corporate tax shelter and industrial hellscape.

I reckon the lure of Texas as a travel destination depends on what the traveler is into and whether it's business or pleasure. My business doesn't require travel so it's always pleasure. My out-of-state travel centers on visiting historic Civil War battlefields and other sites. You gotta really be into it if coming here from out-of-state for that.

I won't mention names ... but this place keeps up the old Colored School near downtown ... it's not used as a school, but the paint is fresh and the signs clearly say "Colored School" ... West Coast Lefties would be peeing their pants ...

If you're reminiscent of them "good ol' days" ... Texas is the place to visit ...

DAMN that place is flat ...

DAMN that place is flat ...

We got some hills in Central and East Texas and some mountains way out in West Texas, but yeah, most of it is flat land. You can see and feel the elevation change too traveling to South Texas. We are similar to Florida. My mother's side of the family is stretched from Pensacola to Tallahassee in the Florida panhandle. Driving through there is like being in East Texas geographically and culturally. Went to Ft. Myers once. Traveling south through Florida, just past Gainesville I think, it just flattens out and looks like a completely different state.
