I can say that I haven't lived anywhere better.

I wish that I could say that about some of the places I have lived.

There are enough that I could not say that about. I have absolutely no desire to move from Texas.

Joe,Davy and I all agree with one another.
I have had the chance to travel all over the world. Did it for many years.
There is absolutely no place I had rather be than in Texas.  |

Fred & Joe,
Having did a lot of traveling in my past I would rather live in this country than any of the ones that I was in. I have been in Texas a few times and I would like the idea of being able to live close enough to a town to get whatever I need yet have a lot of privacy and land, if I could afford it. I would like to own enough to put in my own private road race track. Also the climate in Texas, while not perfect is better than in many places I have lived or been. That being said, I like the biggest state so Alaska is high on the list.

Nice. I haven't been on anywhere much lately so I missed it.

Thanks Joe, that was the first nice day we have had in a long time. It is raining lightly right now. I had planned to take the 69 out for a drive and use the new camera to make a video of that. But they are showing spotty rain here for the next several days.
I did get a chance to try out my mount for the camera that I made using two different mounts.

It had been rainy here for about a week, and for the last 2 days, it has been nice out. I just need the mud hole I call a driveway to dry out for a change. Getting hard to tell that my truck is blue. We need the rain bad, but it would be nice to have it more than in just 1 month throughout the year.

We need rain and a lot of it. This drizzle that we are getting does no good at all and just makes it miserable and wet to be outside.
I have meant to ask you or Fred this for some time. Didn't Texas build a freeway that has no speed limit some time ago?

Not no speed limit bit the speed limit was raised to 85 on some freeways out in the middle of nowhere. Now it should only take a week to drive across Texas.

Thanks Joe,
A friend of mine was asking about it and I thought they built a high speed road somewhere but I wasn't sure if it was no speed limit or had a higher limit than most roads do.

There was talk of a toll road with no exits from Dallas to Houston and it was suggested no speed limit but that died out before it ever really go started.

To bad. That would have made traveling between them much faster.

As it is if you are doing 80 on I45 you are likely to be run over.

Joe,
That sounds like the Bay Area. When Ernie moved back here from Hawaii I went to Hayward with him to bring his Cobra and Miata up here. I came up by the
Oakland route and it was 10 lanes of bumper to bumper and doing 85/90 all the way. And you had better be in the lanes you needed to be in because there was no changing lanes.

That's how San Diego was when I lived there.

Joe,
I didn't like San Diego when I had to go down there to work on something but I think the one place in this state that I hated the worst was San Jose. I finally just refused to go there if they had a problem.

I just noticed that this thread has passed 1 million posts. And unrelated, it is raining again here today but not enough to do any good. Just enough to get you wet if you stay out in it for a few minutes. Lousy weather. I want to drive the cars but this is getting old.
