Houston, Texas.

Well I just got back from an 7 day trip to Houston. That is an interesting place. The humidity is horrible! Almost every day a low fog comes through and it is so hazy! The biggest mountain I saw was at a golf course. I said to myself, I could never live here, but then it happened, I tried Blue Bell Ice Cream and thought, maybe I could live here! Galveston was a nice place to visit. I can not believe the dirt cheap housing market in Houston! That is crazy. The zoo was another fun place to visit, but half of the animals were or missing. Anyways, all in all it was a fun place to see, but it sure feels good to be back west!

Everyone has thier like and dislikes. I know I could never stand to live anywhere where it got above 90 degrees for more than a couple days, but those places are sure nice to visit when it is 0 at home.

Be glad you didn't break down or get a flat tire on one of the freeways there. The city of Houston has a new law that sez that you can not fix your car or even change a flat on their freeways or have it towed by a freind off the freeway. You must be towed off by one of their tow trucks no matter what the problem is at a flat rate of $75.
