On the tailgate of my truck:

1. Better than my drive home in rush hour traffic outside of Atlanta last
night. On a big red pickup truck was a plain white bumpersticker with plain ol' black lettering that said: I voted for his daddy too!

I literally was laughing and pointing at him when I went past him.

Was at about Jones Road in Jersey Village. :hi:

You're in Seattle but homesick for Houston? XNASA will taunt you about this. Myself, I like it here, but I came from Los Angeles.

10. I miss Htown, too.
It gets such a bad rep, but people just don't realize all that it has to offer. Just stay out of the burbs-most of 'em anyway.

I was marooned in Houston for ten long years.

8. Sweet.
Houston gets a bad rap due to the Bu$h family association but scattered among the pod people and 'Bots there are some really great progressive folks in that mix (such as your bad self). :D

14. My dear Richardo!
Isn't that gratifying?

I've had those too........and then I've had the ones that just stare stonily ahead.......

It is a very good feeling!

I'm glad to hear that there are such good folks like yourself in Houston!

:hi:

:woohoo: :woohoo:
