Benefit of living in Texas

[Mr_Saturn]

Dallas?! First thing that comes to mind:

Try growing up here… especially during the time that the Cowboys kept winning the super bowl… For someone who’s not a sports, fan, that was hell… -_-

I plan on moving to Texas, when I get older. Though I will take just about any other state, I live in Oklahoma. The most boring state… well except for maybe Montana. (no offense to all y’all[< proof i live in Oklahoma] Montanians)

I will be working in Austin, Texas from May to December. It has me scared. I lived in San Antonio for two years and liked it, but I am NOT looking forward to the heat. Do you know of any place in Austin I should be checking out?

[Mr_Saturn]

Austin is over 200 miles away from me. It’s like asking someone who lives in Massachusets if they know any good places in New Jersey.

Funny story: My sister was talking to a guy in Massachusets, and he asked about Dunkin Dounuts in our town. Of course, there is a road that goes straight to Massachusets from where we live, but do you want to go to Mass. at 35-55 Mph?

Rarely do I find myself happy to live here in Texas, but today is an exception. I’m an in-home PC technician for a major electronics company, and they sent me out to BFE today (<A HREF=“http://local.google.com/local?f=q&hl=en&q=sulphur+springs,+tx”>Sulphur Springs, TX</A>). On the way back, instead of taking the main highway, I cut through some small towns to save some time. I was heading west on US-380 when, <A HREF=“http://local.google.com/local?f=d&hl=en&saddr=farmersville,+tx&daddr=princeton,+tx&ll=33.164571,-96.434383&spn=0.154763,0.259895”>somewhere between Farmersville and Princeton</A>, I saw the funniest thing I’ve seen in months.

You see, I live in Dallas. Dallas is the fifth largest metropolitan area in the United States, and is the fifty-second largest metropolitan area in the world. There are <A HREF=“http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Dallas_Texas_USA_aerial.jpg”>large buildings</A>, and <A HREF=“http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e7/DSCN4925.JPG”>major highways</A> throughout the area. (however, that second picture is a bit misleading; the population of trucks <I>far</I> outweighs the population of cars in Dallas…)

However… other parts of Texas, like many other states, are primarily farm land, and cattle… >_>

Why are Mr. Saturn’s posts starting to read like Wikipedia articles, replete with links around random nouns?

[Mr_Saturn]

I’m a walking, talking <A HREF=“http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/reference”>reference</A>, Merl.

Besides, I used to always do that, I just didn’t have Wikipedia then, so I didn’t have something to link every single word to.
