Another Yankee Moved to Texas

[jinman]

Had a rotten day day today. Opened a nice ice cold Beck's and do some TBN. Made my day Bird!


Looks like the "Mad Shoveler" moved to Texas.

Bird,

That's pretty good. First thing I thought of was a very similar story of some Southerners who had moved to Vermont. First snow, "How beautiful", etc. The story progresses kind of like yours, and finishes with the author hitting a snow plow driver with a shovel (or something like that). I wish I had it written down someplace - I'm willing to bet somebody else on TBN does.

By the way, I did hear of about 30 or so Yankees going to Texas this week, but they won't be staying. After they slap the Rangers around for 3 days or so, they'll be heading out of state /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

That's the one, only I'd seen it a bit differently (a Vermont version). Didn't realize it had ever been posted on TBN - I must not be doing my homework!!! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Thanks Derek.

I suspect that they are tales involving the same individual!

HAAAAA! Awsome....Man it gets hot like that here in bama but fortunatley we do get good breaks from it.This summer has actually been mild...Hottest day in the state I think was 105 so far average in the upper 80's low 90's...Hummidity has been way up lately(so bad Sunday night I had to leave the wipers on intermitend and there wern't a cloud to be found.).July and August have actually been nice this yr with all th rain to keep it cool up here an Nrthrn Bama.In LA(lower Alabama)theve had it kinda dry and ruff...The wifes uncle comes in from Texas (Brownsville area I think) for a braek from the heat.The small lake (500 acres or so)her dad and unlce have places at is usaully at 85-88deg water temp by the middle or end of JUNE (BATH WATER). This yr its stayed near 80 deg most of the time.Can you say floating cooler and sipp and float till you prune up....

Also been meaning to ask you... Do you know anything about Lone Star Carports in Canton, TX? I was interested in one of their carports for my Dad...

Yeah, Rob, I remembered the one about the snow when my daughter sent me this one about Texas heat.

Sorry, John, I know where Canton is, but haven't been there in many years and never heard of the Lone Star Carports.

Bird, That is too funny! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Not to try and rub it in or anything, but we had a get-together at a neighbor's house Sunday night. It was about 72 at 7PM. We've had temps at about 75-80 for two months running except for July 3rd, when it hit around 100. One of the reasons I live here; not too hot, not too cold.

However, if I had to live in Texas, I would put Austin near the top of the list.

Bird,

But it's a <font color=red>dry</font color=red> heat!

Glueguy,

I visited Austin via the I-35 corridor late last week headed north. Traffic jam started in south Austin and didn't let up until north of Georgetown. About 40 miles worth. When I moved from Austin to Waco in Dec, 1999, I couldn't have been happier. A neat city to be sure, but too many people for my taste. So I became part of the cure and vacated./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Very Good, Bird! Thanks for the smile!

GlueGuy, Austin? Pluto on the Colorado? I think you would like College Station better.
