Texas Is Big
August 21st, 2008 | Posted by Paul |
Texas is big. I’m not going to quote the actual statistics etc, but I think it’s bigger than France – which makes it reasonably large.
We have driven, correction: I have been driven, around Dallas/Fort Worth by my darling wife Sue, for the last 1.5 weeks. Luxury 
It makes for me arsing around the M25 around London. Of course the car is a rental and has lovely air conditioning. Until you come to somewhere like Texas, you have absolutley NO IDEA just how valuable air con is. You will melt and die in a pool of your own sweat if you don’t have air con – it’s that simple and gory.
But Texas is really big. We’ve gone to a few out-of-town places, (not to be revealed until I come back with the video evidence!), and the state is really, really BIG. And I think I’ve found a new business venture – collected blown tyres off the freeways/highways and selling them to one of those rubber reconstitution places. There are ripped and shredded tyres everywhere! It never looked that bad in “Convoy” did it? I mean, it’s a driving hazard on some roads.
Okay – time to go and get a cold beer on this warm humid evening. I hope ya’ll are doin’ well, and I’ll catch you later good buddies! (Good grief!)
