Anybody in Houston?

OH my! You have been fooled by the beer commercials! Most of our 'streams' are only really flowing once a year and that lasts three weeks - at that time you don't want to be anywhere near them! They are violent enough that the streams are brown, muddy and fast.

I'm okay with muddy water holes....not that I am an avid beach goer - since I have been land locked for many years.

Naaaa, thier not really that bad. Some of um clear up real nice if we dont git any rain for a while. Gotta admit tha nicest ones are up in tha hill country generally around Austin and vacinity. There's numerous lakes spread out in all directions from there. Lots of rock up through that area. Its perdy!!! We hope to retire up that way. (I guess we all have our own dreams) I've been to colorfull Colorado. I've seen some of your small lakes and streams/rivers. Hope this is right ..... Ole Habor Lake, Mirror Lake, even rode the Old Durango mine train. Beautiful places!!! So I aint buyin your muddy stream story. Saw too many during the summer that were crystal clear. And Cold too!!! We're talkin instant shrinkage here. LOL.
Wow, are you in for a change. Summers at 95+* and 85+ humidity. Winters arent much different. One day its near freezing and tha next your back in shorts again. We dont do winter clothes down here. Jeans and a jacket is about all you'll need. Hope you got your last look at snow. Forgit about it!!! We git our little cold snaps down here when tha jet stream gits pushed down this way but they dont last. Mostly just passing fronts. Did I mention rain? Yeah, Yall git snow, we git rain. Yall ride snowmobiles in pretty white snow, we ride ATVs in tha brown mud. Yall winterize your boats for several months, we dont even know what winterizing is. Thats when ours run tha fastest. Every year we (a little group of outboard river racers) have one of our biggest local boat meets/races (The Winter Nationals) in January on tha SanJacinto River just below the Lake Houston dam. (Its not exactly an advertised sanctioned event. More like street racin in boats.) So come on down with your bad self. There's always something to do.
