Thanks for the pictures.* I was thinking, what is silt to Houston was
probably farmland to someone upstream.* That's a lot of dirt!


Absolutely, farm land. Houston is mostly gumbo/clay but Katy TX north
of I10 tends to have sandy soil. That is the beginning area for Buffalo
bayou.

Appreciate your posting of the pictures, like the inside story shots.

I hope they can use that excess soil to their advantage give all the
dump trucks I saw moving the stuff.

Sure looks to me like you have some really nice bike ride areas, minus
the heat.


Well hopefully the soil will go to good use. BUT the environmentalists
are warning about contamination of soils.

Yeah, we have probably a hundred miles of sidewalks other than those in
front of homes and businesses and along streets.

In our town riding on sidewalks get you a 300 fine, 1st offense, at
least for adults. Seems to be a high incidents here for those riding
in bike lanes getting hit from behinds, and often hit and run, so
there are a lot of "ghost" bikes about.

Where do you live? I have always lived in Texas, never have heard of a
law/fine for riding on sidewalks.



A woman we know was run over by a car sweeping around a corner and
surprisingly didn't kill her, her one shoulder is not 4 inches lower
than the other and they don't think it'll ever change. She got off on
her ticket in court but not her husband.

I have no idea where this money grabbing government system is going.


In Vta County, here there is a $10K fine for 1st offense Drunk
Driving, plus schooling cost + + A min fine for running a red light of
425 bucks, and seat belt fine of 250. Although no one should be
breaking laws, I pity the lower class person caught in such a trap.

The lower class person has nothing to worry about. There is help available from
the sleaze-bag lawyers who advertise on the big billboards in the poor neighborhoods.

"In A Fix? Text Or Call 6!
Call 666-6666.
Your DUI Fix-It Team"

Those lawyers cannot do anything except raise your costs if you get
sucked into their con's.

The welfare poor never pay as others have mentioned, but the honest
poor try to. Now it seems many states have reciprocal agreements. So
they can't even hardly move without changing their name to escape it
all.
