2. "I moved to Texas for work, and while I appreciate the job opportunities, the weather is unbearable. The summers are scorching hot and the humidity is unbearable. I miss the four seasons and being able to enjoy outdoor activities without melting." - John P.

Texas is not bad. However you had better enjoy the heat. If you live in West Texas, as I do, you had better not mind dirt and wind

San Antonio Riverwalk, Down The Drain! - 12/26/2009
The San Antonio Riverwalk is really down the drain. My friend Tom and I took a short vacation there because he had never been to Texas before and this is one of the places he wanted to visit. Well, we were very disappointed after being harassed by a Mexican American, Evangelist "Christian", that insisted we make a donation for a men's shelter his church sponsored. When I told him, sorry we're not interested and that we were on vacation he insisted on following us to the stairway and shouting, that we should make time for Jesus. I told him again, I'm sorry and that we were on vacation and not interested at this time. As my friend Tom and I went down to the stairway to the lower level of the Riverwalk this fellow decided to clear his throat and stand above us as he was going to spit on us. I was about to tell him, I didn't know Jesus and Christians made it a point to spit on people when they didn't get their way. But my Friend Tom just stared him down and we both vowed never to visit

Ready to relocate? Quality of Life is right here - 10/29/2009
We recently relocated from CA to the Hill Country of Texas and just love it here. The weather has 3 (at least) seasons, the landscape is gorgeous, and the people are phenomenal. We've experienced the southern hospitality at its best! Our little town of Harper has 7 churches, some great barbecue and a school that ranks very high in their test scores. There's never a dull moment for this little town, if you want to keep busy, something is going on every weekend. Great place for retired couples and/or young families wishing to raise their children in a "safer, saner" environment. If you are thinking of relcating, please feel free to e-mail us and we'll share what we've learned (Harperhouse@live.com). Blessings, The G

A land of variety - 9/21/2009
Texas is a land of variety. It has a varied topography. From mountains (though not tall compared to other places)and hills to plains and forests, Texas has a beauty all its own. In far West Texas, one will find arid to semi-arid conditions whereas in East Texas, one can experience more humid weather. The desert has a redeeming quality about it. The hot summer days are replaced with cool nights and crisp early mornings. As one travels east, he/she will cross the plains and then enter forest lands lined with beautiful pines and other varieties of trees.
Texas skies, especially away from the highly populated areas, are bright with stars on a clear evening. The vastness of the skies allow one to gaze in wonder for long periods of time.
A variety of communities can be found in Texas. From small to large, rural to urban--Texas towns, villages, and cities exhibit unique qualities. With distinctive histories and cultures, the flavor of each place is an exciting
