Hot, Buggy and Ugly

The title pretty much sums it up. I moved here 3 years ago from a city of equal size in GA and this place is unbelievably hot and humid (even compared to GA). The mosquitos, which are out almost year round, are the biggest I've ever seen. They could easily cover a person's fingernail in width. Sugar Land, and most of the area is flat with no tall trees except what may have been planted by landscape designers. I have heard that Sugar Land has more master planned communities than any other city, which is okay as long as you don't mind cheap, unimaginative and repetitive achitecture, small yards and 6 ft wooden fences delineating each persons property. Oh, don't tread foot on that property or you might get shot. I'm not saying that everyone in TX is gun happy but I have met more than my fair share of them and I live in a neighborhood of nice, brick, 3000 sq ft houses. Now, I like to hunt on occasion but I'm talking assault rifles and people having to "clear" (like a SWAT Team) their house when they hear the dog bark at night. I'M NOT KIDDING!! Some of these people are nuts!! Texans, themselves, are a very welcoming group of people if you will buy into their belief that Texas should be its own country and no other people or states are worthy of acknowledgement.
The good stuff...The school systems are good, crime is low and the cost of housing is cheap.(that's only becuase the houses are built shoddily).
Overall, I'll leave as soon as the opportunity presents itself...and won't look back!
