Houston sounds like a mess. I've flown through Dallas enough to know it's too big for my tastes.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-6866339190248729012012-07-12T11:58:21.984-04:002012-07-12T11:58:21.984-04:00Hey, we have variation!

It's just that there is a lot of one thing before you get to the next thing.<br /><br />Yes, Houston is awful - I always hated that old "dry heat vs humidity" thing, but 100deg + 90% humidity is just evil. Plus, Houston is big and ugly and messy... DFW is big, but it never has seemed as menacing as Houston. DFW also has humidity, but not as bad as Houston, and it still gets hot. Out here, it gets hotter, and less rain, but less humid too! Austin is like DFW, but weirder. San Antonio is like Austin + Houston, IMO.<br />Central Texas is hilly and has a lot of cedar - and other trees. East Texas has pine trees, and other trees, but it's kinda flat. North/Panhandle is more rolling - I think it's about the prettiest area - but not a lot of trees. And then there's the caprock area - beautiful canyons.<br />Big Bend is mountains. Desert mtns, but mountains. and wilder.rlaWTXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319344164726195144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-82739371881728430282012-07-11T23:57:07.095-04:002012-07-11T23:57:07.095-04:00Jen, That's been my experience with Texas too ...Jen, That's been my experience with Texas too -- lots of the same over and over.
