I have been in Pflugerville, Texas (close to Austin) for about 5 days now visiting for the holidays. Texas is a wonderful place with exciting and interesting history. Today I visited the famous alamo with my family. When I pictured the alamo in my head I thought it'd be in a deserted place far away from any chaos. To my surpise the alamo falls right in the middle of a large city with a post office, hotel, and mall surrounding it. Well that's all I have to say if you guys have anything to say about texas talk about it here.

um.....dude, Alaska.
And plus, I can do that here in Virginia, ever drive US 460? If you have like 5 days to live, spend it on US rt 460 because everyday will be an eternity.
Anyway, no, everyone is wrong so far. Virginia is where the real action is at. The firepower in Norfolk could delete the North East. And the rednecks from extreme Southwestern VA(my part of the state ) could hunt down the rest of the country.

Cool, im from TX and was up your way in Indiana.... Yea I know its a few states away from PA, but all your states up there are too small to really be considered their own states. I mean it only took me an hour to pass through 2 states on the way up there.
I think he mant as in actually going like 90 mph on the highway Python.

With as many cops as there are on 460, going 90 would still be an 18 hour drive from the state line in WV to the east coast. My old metals class partner got 3 tickets for speeding between here and Lynchburg. Lynchburg is about 30 miles on the road. It took him close to 2 hours to cover that.
Texas was it's own county? Whoopity Doo. Ever hear of Jamestown? Williamsburg? Yorktown? Appomatox Courthouse? Pevs? Me? Michael Vick? Oceana Naval Base? The Atlantic fleet? Me? Langley? CIA headquarters? The Pentagon? Quantico? Martinsville Motor speedway? ChucktheMAGician?
Josh Silverman? Me?

To my surpise the alamo falls right in the middle of a large city with a post office, hotel, and mall surrounding it. Well that's all I have to say if you guys have anything to say about texas talk about it here. In 1836. 
It was a couple miles outside of San Antonio. City just expanded up to it, beside it, then around it.
Let's see...Texans are arrogant, we're poor, we're rich, we've the second largest state, one of the top 10 populations, with multiple environmental and socio-economic disasters on their way in the relatively close future. Houston and its suburbs make up over a quarter of the state's population. Over 80% of Texas is in the cities.
It was 63 degrees out at 5 pm here, It's now 10:30 pm and it's dropped to 44. Temperatures change alot. Flashfloods a lot in some places, drought here in Central Texas most of the year, but weather changes quick, both seasonally, and in 24 hrs.
Hm, can't really say much about paintball, I'm used to woodsball. We seem to have a lot of paintball fields. Seems popular in the big cities.
Smog: Avoid Houston like the plague. Ft. Worth isn't bad. Dallas is a cross between them.
Hm, I think I'm bitter and cynical about Texas after reading my own typing.Own: stock '94 original Spyder, Used Nelspot 007, Phantom stock class

No, it does not matter.

...Texas was it's own county? Whoopity Doo.... its ok, there are lots of people like you in the world. there are millions, perhaps billions of people that wished they lived in Texas but cant. so they compensate by trying to make themselves believe that where they live is at least as good if not better than Texas. but when they sit down and are honest with themselves they will understand the truth. no place on earth is as wonderful as Texas.
have a good day, and remember to smile when you say Texas.
