Title: Attention Texans
Post by: Nick912 on June 03, 2008, 02:51:55 PM
I love Texas!!

I just got back from a trip to San Antonio and I loved it! What a great place! TX is such a nice, clean state. The people are cool, and I just dig the whole vibe. I stopped in Austin and liked that too. But San Anton really was great.

I would defiantly like to live there and wouldnt mind being adopted texan

Nick,  I'm glad you had a great time.  Texas has a bit of everything anyone could want (coast, mountains, deserts, canyons, piney woods, prairies, big cities, small communities, lakes, beautiful ladies, and the Dallas Cowboys).  Sometimes we even hire retired Military Personnel.  O0  It would be good to have you join us.

Sounds a bit like California!

By the way, I would agree with that assessment, Paul.
I can't drink enough to get California politics out of my system.

I'd have to concur.  I've been to Houston before and on the way to Mexico last year my family spent some time in Dallas/Fort Worth.   

VERY VERY nice people.

Austin,TX has a great music scene.One of the best in the country.

I'm a big fan of the beanless Texas-style chili

Austin's a great town. If you can survive the drivers.

Beans? In chili? That's just crazy talk! ;)

(I actually put black beans in one of my chili recipes. No one has shot me yet.)

I think that beanless Texas style chili is just called chili isn't it Bear.

One thing I did notice in Texas though was lotsa REALLY BIG people.  I mean big,  as in in a huge wheelchair and can't walk big!!

That and lotsa really big vehicles.  I've never seen so many full size trucks and especially SUV's.

That's just not Austin... that is the entire state of Texas!!!  I've been all over Texas and NOBODY with Texas plates knows how to drive...  I think it's mandatory training to ignore other drivers and traffic laws to get your Texas driver's license!!

Yup I can agree with that.  No common courtesy.  No-one seemed to have a clue what the hammer lane was for either.   

Ass-hat soccer moms going 20 mph under the limit in the hammer lane, talking on their phones in their mondo SUV's, while other psychos were weaving in and out of traffic doing 30 or 40 mph over the limit = bad combination.

Saw TWO TRAFFIC FATALITIES in the week we were in Dallas Fort Worth both caused by dumb driving!!!

I'll tell you what, going through Austin I hit this huge traffic jam on 35 South. All three lanes were shut down, and I was sitting there forever! It was a freaking manhunt! Texas troopers had all three lanes shut down interviewing each car. I had a light shined in my face by the dude asking me where I was going and where I was coming from. Once I told him I was going to Lackland AFB he chilled. But it was kinda scary!

Careful, you know d*mn well we don't drive in the Crescent City, WE AIM!

 Re: Texas, Austin to San Antonio, Hill Country etc., beautiful, good food, music.  But the rest of the state, forget it, the best thing coming out of Texas, other than Austin-San Antonio, is the I-10.
