I have family in San Antonio... and did basic training in El Paso. I realize that's a long way, but it's as close as I've been.
For what it's worth I really liked the desert... Texans not so much, unless there are a few more like you an' 6 and Hook and Molly Ivins and Ann Richards and... Hightower and... wait a minute... maybe I'm being hasty in my judgement. Some a' y'all are alright.
Oh and Kinky Friedman! (I have a "Vote Kinky Why the Hell Not" T-Shirt.)
Going to the Caribbean in a few weeks... We could have rum.
