Texas has been interesting so far. Every male wears a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. The men never take off their hats when they enter a building. One of these days I plan to hold a hat rack in front of the local Wal-mart and ask men if I can check their hats as a courtesy. I'll keep you posted on how that pans out...
The roads here are pretty easy to follow. I think they made them easy to follow because Texans live here. The only thing missing from the roads is more honking. I'm convinced that if more people used their car's vocal chords, people would speed it up a little and traffic would flow more efficiently. One day I tested my hypothesis out on a slow Sunday morning. People got out of my way quicker than when I drove up really close behind them and waved them to move. I'm learning their ways of the road very quickly. :)
Also, a word of advice, pay attention to the expiration dates on food items down in Texas. The local "super markets" don't seem to keep tabs on these. Not going to name names, but you get the picture...
Weather-wise, it's cold in the morning, hot in the middle of the day, and cold at night. It's windy all day long. Overall, no complaints about the weather, yet. I'm sure when its 100 degrees Fahrenheit I will probably start my usual "Michiganian" complaints about how the weather is too hot, too cold, or not dry enough.
We recently moved to the city of Killeen. For those of you not "in-the-know," it's a boring military town. Finding things to do around here will be difficult, but I'm sure I'll conjure up some new ideas to make this a more fun place.
Stay tuned... it might get better.
