| Thirteen Things about Living in SE Texas
1…. Our winters suck.. Winter? What winter? What we have is COLD FRONTS.. We dont have winter..
2…. During december and January.. You can wear shorts one day and jeans, long sleeves, and a parka the next..
3…. People here pull out the HUGE jackets when the temps hit 50 outside.. You see people in hats, gloves, and big jackets everywhere..
4…. 90 degrees is nice weather.. it is compared to 105…
5…. If its raining its fishing weather, if the sun is shinning its fishing weather.. If the water is choppy its fishing water you just need a bigger boat and a heavier rod..
6…. If they say hurricane.. You better stock up on beer, liquor, and beer and liquor.. Oh you might want to stock up on some water and batteries too..
7…. Dont ask for a pop here.. Pop is what you call your dad.. or grandfather.. if you want something fizzy to drink.. YOu better ask for a coke and then tell them what kind of coke you want…
8…. Any day is a good day for a cook out.. Even if its 20 degrees outside and the bbq pit is iced shut..
9….We dont get snow.. We get snow that falls but it melts before it hits the ground.. Yes this has happened several times..
10…. We don’t get snow days.. We do however get flood days..
11…. Mosquitos are year round here.. This means you can catch west nile year round.. Mosquitos may last year round but the stores do not stock plenty of mosquito spray year round!
12…. Our idea of back roads here.. Is much different than many peoples versions of back roads.. Our back roads here.. You might not make it out alive with out a gun and a flashlight..
13…. If the heat doesnt kill you.. the year round humidity will.. We dont just get cold here.. we get WET cold with 100% humidity..

Some of that sounds like Virginia. The back roads and the weather lately. We used to have more winter. We used to say “tonic” and Mass. When I was a kid I went to Florida to visit my Grandmother and tried to order one. They thought I meant men’s hair stuff.
I wrote 13 in the snow but then it melted. I like your new place.
I guess fishing is important..lol
Great list! I enjoyed reading it.
Have a wonderful Thursday

Is that Pink in your header?
Okay, Texas sounds a lot harsher than I’d thought. Wow. Maybe I’ll come visit, but there’s no way I’m staying!
Have a great TT! Come join my goofy contest at West of Mars, will ya? I want to send books to new homes.
