It was bizarre going to downtown Austin. Daughter liked going to Whole Foods there. While outside, some hippie freaky looking lesbians pestering me to sign a petition supporting Planned Parenthood. I freaked them out with an angry argument against them. Record shop across the street full of more freaks. Restaurants with more of them. What the heck, is this Texas?
Well, I am a looooong way from Texas here in British Columbia so what I know is mostly from TV. What is sad when you watch home improvement shows set in Texas is that Texans have lost their Texan twang. Everyone just sounds like everyone else in the country. I understand the forested East is beautiful and the Western plains are bleak. That again from reading books.
