Stupid Texas

I've lived here since 1980 which makes me almost a native. I've thought of moving on but all places have pluses and minuses. Right now, my wife has a good job so for us it is a paycheck and several of our kids and grand kids are here.

Things I like: Mild winter, beautiful wildflowers in the spring, good fishing and hunting, good hiking and camping withing a few hour drive, good restaurant scene and performing arts scene (Houston area), NO STATE
INCOME TAX!!!

Things I dislike: Extreme humidity at any given time of the year (when it rains here in the summer the steam comes off of the street), hot summer temps (especially August and early September), red state (for now), high property taxes, high utility costs, potholes.
