I know what you mean. I have a pair of reading glasses in every

It's obnoxious, but what are you gonna do?
I'm about to break down and buy more than one pair myself. Nothing
like trying to dial the cell phone at arm's length because the
reading glasses are at the house...
Go ahead and do it - They're only a couple of bucks at CVS or Eckerds
or whatever you have out there.
Who knows what we have here fast as they're changing their names...
(Walk into an Eckerds, walk out of a CVS)
Are CVS and Walgreens acting as crazy up there as they have been in
Houston over the past couple of years? (Case in point: since the
early '70s, there was a Walgreens at Westhill Village on the southwest
corner of Hillcroft and Westheimer. That was relocated across
Westheimer and about a half-mile west in the late 1990s. When CVS
started popping up, they grabbed the southeast corner of the
Hillcroft/Westheimer crossing - nuking Pino's Italian Restaurant, which
had occupied that corner since some time back in the 1960s - in early
2005, and to top it off, Walgreens plopped down another store two
blocks down Hillcroft from their original location at Westhill Village,
less than a half-mile away from the relocated Westheimer store. It's
gotten to where it's getting hard to find a major-street intersection
in southwest Houston and the suburbs that doesn't have Walgreens and
CVS staking out two of the four corners.)
They can't get too crazy here given that the free standing (as in Wal-Mart
has one and HEB has one) pharmacies there is... the Walgreen's.
People keep telling me this particular wide spot in the road is growing
*so *much but this growth appears to be kept well hidden..
The one thing that has surprised me: if there was any enterprise that
I'd pick to stake out more than one corner of any intersection around
here, I'd have expected it to be Starbucks. They're almost as common as
the average mosquito, but I have yet to see a Houston intersection that
actually has more than one of the buggers. (If I want caffeine, I'll
stick with the home team: Dr. Pepper.)
Speaking of which, we have arrived. The Starbucks just opened...
Remind me to stay east of 183 the next time we come up to Baghdad on the
Colorado...(that's my salute to Governor Goodhair)
You got your TxTag yet?
I've had the HCTRA EZTag (which is compatible with the TxTag setup in the
Austin area) since the day the Westpark Tollway opened.
Some of the toll plazas are going to be nothing but tag. You can go
through them and get your picture taken then they bill you adding in lotsa
lovely extra fees...
No kidding - that's why I got the EZTag when the Westpark was about to open a
couple of years ago. (Of course, thanks to it having the right of way of the
old SP railroad line, it's only two lanes each way all the way from just west
of 610 all the way out to 99/Grand Parkway - nearly 14 miles. It's not a good
idea to use it in the same direction as the rush hour.)

I've had the HCTRA EZTag (which is compatible with the TxTag setup in the

Yeah, according to the TxTag site, all three--Dallas, Houston, and
Austin--are compatible.
Some of the toll plazas are going to be nothing but tag. You can go
through them and get your picture taken then they bill you adding in lotsa
lovely extra fees...
No kidding - that's why I got the EZTag when the Westpark was about to open a
couple of years ago.
Lot of people bitching and moaning over here about that. For me, though,
it's great.
My step-father asked why I got a tag when I don't go into the city all
that often. I replied it was because I don't go into the city all that
often. Considering the amount of the tolls, you *know a huge number of the
regular commuters are going to stay off the toll roads, leaving them open
for those of us who aren't doing anything in the city that's nearly as
productive.
Though I have to admit being amused at my home state over all this. The
bitching and moaning makes me laugh. All those years people here sneared
at California, now they're going to learn the hard way how California
got that way.
Meaning, if you *want a massive, maintained freeway system, you have to
*pay for a massive, maintained freeway system. You can't insist on having
no new taxes *and a multi-billion dollar toll free freeway system. Lot of
people here seem to think the non-toll freeways are "free." I guess they
think pixies build them.
(Of course, thanks to it having the right of way of the

Houston is such a perverse city. Somehow it fits I was born there...

Would that the Westpark had followed that pattern - even so, at non-rush hours
it's definitely worth the price. (22 minutes from front door to Fulshear, and
six of those are spent in getting the first 1.2 miles to the westbound
access from South Gessner.)

The Native Houstonian Society is looking for you. (I'm qualified for
membership, even though I didn't come to Houston until I was ten years old -
they lowered the requirement to 20 years' residence back in the mid-1980s,
around the time I reached that mark.)

I got the EZ Pass for George and myself when I had to commute down the
Garden State Parkway. Now, I don't go down that way too often anymore, but
it's still great to have. Definitely came in handy yesterday when we were on
the GSP for a good hour going down to the inlaw's house.

It'd take a bit of adjusting, but it could be worse...it could be Dallas. (Or
the whole northern belt of suburbs on the Dallas County side, east of the
airport.) The one downside to it: the DFW area is on the southern fringes of
hell - when it's July and we're sweating in Houston in the low 90s, it'll
be ten degrees or so hotter from DFW northwestward towards Childress, into
southern Oklahoma. There's a reason why the Hotter Than Hell Hundred bike
ride is every August, starting and ending in Wichita Falls...

Hey, all I know is that the husband was looking at houses online there.
At least it's not all that far from Arlington, being stuck in between Bedford
and Grapevine, but I'm not sure I'd want to brave 121 or 360 (or both) twice a
day. That part of the MetroMess has sprouted like Stuper's delusions in the
past couple of decades, but if he can hack it, more power to him. At least
it's not too close to the Six Flags sprawl.

He's in no way around flat terrain - if he wants that, he'll have to make the

the Seawall in Galveston).

Hey, all I know is that the husband was looking at houses online there.
At least it's not all that far from Arlington, being stuck in between
Bedford and Grapevine, but I'm not sure I'd want to brave 121 or 360 (or
both) twice a day. That part of the MetroMess has sprouted like Stuper's
delusions in the past couple of decades, but if he can hack it, more power
to him. At least it's not too close to the Six Flags sprawl.
This is sounding less and less appealing :P
It could be a lot worse - like, downtown Dallas.
Did I mention that along with heat and flat terrain, I also despise traffic?
He's in no way around flat terrain - if he wants that, he'll have to make
the four-hour drive down I-45 to Houston...where the Harris County
courthouse is 54' above MSL, and 48 miles from the Gulf of Mexico (where
61st Street hits the Seawall in Galveston).
Yah but, nobody goes to Houston on purpose...
...which makes it that much more important to get those space-warp express
lanes in on I-10, I-45, and US 59. (290, you're on your own.)
On 290, you're *never "on your own"...

Ha ha. I was born in Dallas (too long ago to dwell on). We had
a joke in High School about a couple making out in a car, and as
they were rounding second base the girl said, "Ohh, kiss me down
there where it's hot and damp and smelly", so he drove her to
Houston. Sorry, the lint trap that is my mind collects the most
inappropriate things sometimes.
<SNORK>
I'll have to remember that one...
George is going to be in Arlington, TX for the next month. I'll
have to email him this joke ;)
He's talking again about getting a possible job offer and us
relocating there. Make him stop!
MUUUUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!
And you thought you were the only one who could cast evil spells
huh?
Oh please, like you're anywhere near Colleyville ;(
Colleyville? What's wrong with Richland Hills or Haltom City?
