Texas is great man. A lot of us here are friendly, and then there are some that aren't. So what if we all have guns here? What's the big deal? I don't, but I know how to shoot. There aren't any more crimes here than NY or Washington, especially.
The MOIST heat is the bitch. I was talking to a grad student the other day...it gets 125* in Egypt & Sudan, but it's all dry and not bad. It's the humidity in Texas that will get ya. Sliding rear windows and a a 45+ mph A/C is sufficient...
Best buds from Seguin. Nice place, a lil smaller than the cty that butts against it, but a lot bigger than other small Texas towns. Nobody wants old 80's rangers here...good luck!
I'm about 2-3 hrs from you. A 3 hour drive isn't bad...you can drive an entire day in one straight direction and STILL not be out of the damn state. When a destination becomes 4 hours or longer, then it's a "drive" (well, to me anyways). More spacious than Maine, less clustered than the NE area, and a li'l bit browner since we're closer to the border. Oh, and there's people here that are crazzzzzzzy and in love with Texas. You'll see/understand later...
Look us all up sometime when ya get here...
I wish we had a Texas emoticon...
