The rest of you can go to Hell. I’m going to Texas. (David Crockett)
This phrase is really funny to me because the humidity in Texas can be Hell. I take a shower and dry off. After I get dressed the next thing I notice is my head is sopping wet again from sweat due to the humidity. The other thing I have noticed, after living here for only two years, is the horrible air quality in the morning. It smells of unrefined oil and smog. I am used to waking up to fresh chilly mountain air.
I do have to say that I was able to find a better job in Texas then in California. I think this is because there are so many overly qualified people in California competing for the same job. I was also able to buy my truck her for a lot cheaper. Housing is definitely cheaper in Texas then California. Prices for a four bedroom house in a not so good neighborhood in California would sell around 500,000. Texas has a much better cost of living when it comes to housing and gas alone. When the gas prices were over four dollars here, they were almost over five dollars in California. Food wise, California has way better produce because they grow most of it themselves and do not have to import from Mexico.
I am not sure why Davey Crocket would choose Texas over another state. Maybe he just wanted to keep traveling and others in his party wanted to stay put. Texas is still very big and appears to me as still sparsely settled. I know that it takes along time dive any where and that just to go to one side of Houston to the other can take over an hour. I guess, I wouldn’t say that it was a complete Hell hole. Many people in Texas are very nice and I have made a lot of friends here. Northern Californians can be nice but if you are in the city they are always rushing. Like I have written before, it would be nice to have more trees and mountains in Texas. I could use a cold day every once in awhile. I could use some fresh air. Yet, for now I reside in the smelly humid place and I do not mind it too badly. Like, David Crocket I guess I can say, everyone else can reside where ever, but currently I will stay in humid smelly Texas.
