h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes...I hated living in Texas as well. The weather is just horrible, isn't it? One question: Do you like (or can you even stand) the TV ads belting out the "Texas goes for trucks in a Texas-size way.."?

Oh my god!!! Those are awful!!!!!! It is now 10:27 and it's still 94 outside, I think I am going to die!!!

Hey, where in Texas did you live??

I hated those ads as well...some people seemed to love them though...
I lived about 80 miles east of Dallas along I-30; a town called Sulphur Springs.

I think I have heard of that!! Yes I am pretty sure I have!! Where are you now??

Around Cleveland...much nicer weather (and people, IMO).

Is it??? Are they??? I found people to be very friendly here, or at least more friendly than they were in CA

I find them to be... I think it was partly where I lived and what my political/religious beliefs were. Rural East Texas is not known for its tolerance of outsiders: one often hears the phrase "You ain't from 'round here, are you? You don't know how it's supposed to work..." Very hard people to get along with unless you agreed with them (there were some very reasonable, friendly people, but most were incredibly annoying to be around).

Small thing, but that should say "...political/religious beliefs are" (they didn't change me... )

Oh yes I forgot!!! I could see people from east Texas not being the most friendly!!! I couldn't live there!! I know I have driven through Vidor on my way to New Orleans, and they were not the most friendiest people!! Kind of got strange looks!!!
