I wish the weather wasn’t so hot for so long in Texas (this coming from someone living in Silicon Valley of California). My wife and I would move there in a heartbeat otherwise. Austin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sacramento (politically).
Do NOT move to Austin. Don’t even think about it. It is San Francisco’s sister/tranny/gay city.
But we do have humidity in the gulf area which will save you a lot of $ on moisturizer and lotion. Beautiful day today - 70 degrees, perfect convertible weather!
“Austin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sacramento (politically).”
Worse: Austin = Berkeley!
My sister and her family live in the Hill Country. I go for longer and longer visits every year. Three years ago, my departure coincided with Easter Sunday. I was driving up to Dallas-Ft Worth to catch a flight late that night.
A young family— husband, wife, three kids in a Chrysler minivan — stopped in the median, which was full of blue bonnets, just about sunset. They were taking a family picture, surrounded by the blooming blue bonnets, in their Easter Sunday best.
Can’t say why, but it put a lump in my throat. Enduring memory of TX, completely unrelated to my visit or fondness for Shiner Bock.
Today was fall in the Dallas area.
Be sure to tell everyone in California thinking about coming to Texas that we have four seasons - ice storms, tornadoes, drought, and hurricanes.
We have zika, west nile, enterovirus-D68, and the highest incidence of Ebola in the country. Suburban areas are infested with bobcats and coyotes, and rabid raccoons, skunks and bats. No point landscaping, as the leprosy infected possums will just dig up your yard.
And, of course, your neighbors all have arsenals of high capacity assault rifles and auto-chambering pistols.
Sales and real estate taxes are high.
Remember what General Phil Sheridan said: “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent Texas and live in Hell.”
No! You do NOT want to move to uber lib Austin. You’re trading one lib hell hole for another.
