Yes, but unlike Australia, Texas insects will not kill you with laser beams coming out of their eyes if you look at them wrong! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mel,
I'd do the same save for the fact that by the time I got to the airport, boarded the flight, flew to Austin, got out of the airport and got a car - I'd have already been there twice by land...
Regards,
BB

OMG! Mel, when Ed was getting out of residency, he applied for a job out in Longview! That was my first choice over HERE...however, he did not want to live that far up in Texas! I liked that little town...It was very nice!

It's a different world over here, Kandi! I was raised in Lubbock and this is very different over here. Plus we have TREES! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was so used to tumbleweeds and bushes, that I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the GREEN trees and grass! We have TREES down here...Well, OK, if you consider PALM trees...trees <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

-rh- ** snort ** Have a MB get-together and Redhat is there! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'd have one in MS Redhat, but apparently we have few affairs here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> If you believe that I have some beach front property in Arkansas you may be interested in. Very few people on MB from Mississippi. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Susan <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I can probably make this work - and Barton Springs/Zilker Park would be wonderful - nice nice park, great stuff for kids, great places to eat, etc. I'm ready.
And I can go through Houston, BB -- I'm in Huntsville.
Hey, Mel - I was in Longview at the high school a couple of years ago for a contest with my kids. I adore the place. When you are on the 2nd floor, and you walk down the halls, one wall is glass. So it feels like you are walking through the tops of the trees. It is an incredibly beautiful thing.
Our school has virtually no windows at all. How stupid is that?
I will have to arrange for a substitute pianist for church on Sunday. So as soon as a decision is made, I'll know whether I can come or not.
I eat animals.

Since Orchid moves to paradise island, no one is getting together here. Kindda lonely <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> . If you believe that I have some beach front property in Arkansas you may be interested in. I beleive you <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> but it is too close to White Water <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> . -rh-

shoot starz, I missed your post. I hope you do come, that would be great to meet you!
Now listen, y'all, what say we get together at a nice restaurant? Austin is known for it's great food. Why not take advantage of that?
