well regardless of what others think! Austin is the one sane place in Texas. Kudos for picking it to live in.

It can get a little weird around here at times too. Where else (just a few evening back this happened) can you get a call and go and see the Meat Puppets play at a Pizza joint a few blocks away for nothing?

Kanadesaga

In comparison to the rest of Texas, my impression is Austin is unique.

You are correct. This is the only place in Texas I could live even though this time of year is torture (allergies; i.e. cedar). I have to travel to SA, Dallas, Houston and (Lord help me) West Texas and it just SUCKS! I hate traveling within this State. I much prefer leaving even though I'd rather not fly.

Kanadesaga

I don't fly, never will. I don't take my shoes off, I don't submit to body searches. And fucking Muhammed packed my fucking bags!!!

Tell me about it. I was strip searched at the SD Airport because I had an experiemental gastrip pacemaker in that was not on their list of approved implanted devices. I don't even let my doctor go there! No pleasure with that one!

Well it is all such bullshit. It's because they don't want to spend the money to do it technologically. Jesus christ if the Airlines had sopent the money back in the day for secure doors to the cabins. (gee, like after the repeated hijackings in the 1970s) We wouldn't even be talking about 9/11 IT NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!
