I'm used to the beauty of the mountains and hills and water in Northern California which is a tough act to follow, I know. Any places you know of that is comparable or nice weather-wise, please, I'd like to hear of it.
In the coming years of Premier Hussein’s regime, commissars will be in charge of every aspect of life from cradle to grave.
It’ll be necessary to apply for a license to do pretty much anything, opening up the prospect of virtually infinite, Africa-style corruption and incompetence.
America, once the greatest nation on Earth, is inexorably headed for marginalization in world affairs and the sort of socialist stagnation - and corruption - seen in Third World countries.
Bet the farm on it.
The Texas Hill Country is awesome, as good as California IMHO.
OK, first, is it windy? Next, give me some towns in there that are nice and which part of “Texas Hill Country” is best (north, south, east, or west)?
As far as scenic beauty is concerned, it is in the eye of the beholder.
I live in Alaska, the home of some of the greatest beauty in the world, but I have also found beauty in the Great P lains of our midwest. I saw some awsome Autumn colors in the Northeast. The Southwest has a glory of it’s own. The deep South has the Swamps and Spanish moss that will take your breath away. The Black Hills is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
So you see, you can find beauty wherever you are. It is YOUR attitude, not your surroungings.
If you throw in the politics, there are some places, like California, that I won’t even visit.
Texas. on the other hand, has several diffferent climates and many differemt sorts of natural beauty. However it’s most endearing feature is it’s people. They aren’t asking for handouts and they just want to be let alone to decide their own destiny. Hmm, sounds a lot like Alaska....
Then the Texas Hill Country is the place for you! This born and bred Texan prefers the Gulf Coast, but that is just me.
They don't even have mosquitos in the Hill Country (most of the time) due to lack of humidity. Momma used to toast our bread when we vacationed there by setting it out on the rocks beside Lake Travis.
Also, the region has a lot of Germanic history. Octoberfest rules in the fall. Look it all up.
I like the Fredericksburg area a lot.
I wish Texas weather and landscape were better. I’ve lived in Northern California for 60 years and I’m stuck on its weather and beauty.
Dear any and all liberals lurking here:
I moved to Texas about two years ago. The weather is terrible. The bugs are huge and horrible. As much as we could benefit from your wisdom and guidance, we really don’t deserve you.
Instead, please go to Venezuala.
Sincerely,
Red Horse
You’re right, I can’t wait to get out of this god-forsaken state....why would anyone want to move here.
And the people here...my goodness! Everyone owns hundreds of guns and carry them everywhere they go! The food is often fried and is rarely fair trade or organic!
In my area there are churches on every corner (this one is not an exageration)!
Liberals would hate it here. They would be much happier in some progressive paradise such as North Korea.
Texas Hill Country: My specific concerns would be 1) is it windy? 2) tell me some town names in there that are nice and 3) which part of “Texas Hill Country” is best (north, south, east, or west)?
Fredericksburg area looks pretty nice but bad in the summer for temps and humidity to this Northern California boy (average temp over 90 degrees and relative humidity muggy - around 80%). Dang, I love Texas but hate those temps and humidity.
You think I'm a liberal? I am but not like you think. The real meaning of "liberal" is one who loves freedom. That's me. Are you a "conservative" (one who wants to keep things as they are") as in the GOP establishment? I'm a true liberal (not the popular culture version meaning Socialist) and a libertarian (small "l").
Have you read my posts? Think I would tell you I'm from California if I was one of your "lurking (Socialist) liberals". Look before you leap my FRiend. A mean spirit doesn't help our cause either my FRiend.
I guess I’m assuming by your reply that because I said I’m from California I must be one of your “lurking liberals.” Maybe Reagan from California was too, huh? If I misread you I apologize but if not read on...
My comments were intended in jest. They weren’t aimed at you, but your post prompted them.
Often, liberals create hell holes and flee. Then they make their new homes worse than the place they left behind. I understand there are many freedom loving Americans living “behind enemy lines.” I apologize for the offense. Believe me, it wasn’t intended.
Over the years, the term conservative has come to describe the idea of preserving our constitution and the traditional values it represents. That said, there is nothing conservative about the GOP.
No harm, no foul. Hard to tell nuanced intent or inference in some posts sometimes.
Thank you for your good will and kindness.
I grew up in a highly liberal city around Teamsters and Socialists. Even as a small child I saw their dogma for what it is. When I left at 18 for military service I visited but knew I would never move back.
Texas has a climate for everyone. As far as I know, the only real liberal (”progressive”) area is Austin.
Anywhere in Texas Hill Country where it’s NOT muggy (muggy=dew point over 65 for more than a few days in the summer) and NOT windy?
Dallas is dry and for the life of me I can’t figure out why we have so many mosquitos. Way worse than in muggy, wet Ohio. They are a different breed here. Fast and Furious.
Would you mind sending me the link or URL for this map of Texas’ geographical regions? Thanks.
