Default Re: Why do people live in Texas

The land
- open sky - where you can feel God's arms reaching out to you.
-oak trees - trees that reach down to the ground to help you climb up to there tops
- the hill contey in the spring where the ground is painted with amazing colors brine imagination

The people/ culter mix
Houston one of the most diverse citys in the contry.
What kind of food do you want? You can get it there. Do you want some usual Chinese or Indian spice? You can buy it there. Or would you rather have a German cuisine that is there as well.

Are you Interested in the arts? You name it and you can find it in Texas.

Are you interested in sustainable energy? Texas has more wind generated power than any other state ( the last time I checked). My uncle has only bouse wind electric for the past 25 years.

Are you interested in science or engendering, there is so much there.

Say you are driving on a two lane road and are coming up to a car going slower than you, do you have to work and hope to see to get around them, no because the filter and the roads are designed for them to drive on the shoulder so that you can pass.

And as for how you deal with the heat- it is called air conditioning and going out after dark to dance under the stars when it has cooled off. There is a reason that the tradition is to nap during the heat of the day ( though that was the mistake that Santa Anna made that created Texas)

Yesterday we were at 98 in Vermont and dont have ac, it made me home sick for Texas.
