Which Houston are you talking about. The big one is considered to be
in the South central part of the US.

And uh er as much as I dislike Houston in Texas also, Dallas has long
been considered the arm pit of the region.

As someone who lives in an Atlantic coastal state, south of the Mason-Dixon
line, I have a real problem with characterizing Houston as being in the
"southeast." I don't argue with the "armpit" part, though.

The proposition that three hundred miles West of the Mississippi is the "East"
is quite a mind-bender. Texas, in the East? Wow!

Well, Houston IS closer to Florida than it is to El Paso (and El Paso is
closer to San Diego than it is to Houston), so I suppose it depends on where
you stand.

All agree Houston is a cultural wasteland. Our big cultural event is the
annual livestock show and rodeo whose attendance, during its ten-day run,
exceeds the attendance of our three professional sports teams combined.

Contrary to popular belief, we didn't build the first air-conditioned sports
stadium to be ostentatious - the weather REQUIRED it. Oh, we're not as bad
in that regard as New Orleans, but, being at the same latitude as Cairo...
In fact today, June 2nd, the temperature reached 97 degrees.

There are some things Houston has to recommend it: The world's largest
medical center (18 hospitals, two medical schools, a dental school, etc.),
NASA, the 2nd largest port in the nation, low taxes, no zoning, 2nd highest
number of Fortune 500 companies (after NYC), 2nd highest number of consular
offices (after D.C.), 70% of the nation's refining capacity, and so on.

You'll note that many of these high-ranked attributes have to do with
money - or making money. Houston's a good place for that. But if you want
temperate weather, majestic redwoods, pristine beaches, Civil War
battlefields, or state-funded psychoanalysis for your dog, you won't find
them here.

I recall my first visit to Harvard Square. After lunch, my client asked what
I thought of the crowd.

I replied: "I'm willing to admit you have more PhD's per square foot, more
books in your libraries, and greater educational endowments than back home.
But on the two things that are important in this life, Texas has you beat!"

"What's that?" my client asked.

"Pretty girls and football teams" I responded.

"I'd believe that and I've never been to Texas," he said. "Did you notice
their socks don't match?"

"My friend, if these women were running loose in Texas, there'd be a bounty
on 'em," I concluded.

After I moved to California there were a few gestalt changes. One was what is
considered east versus west. There was a local grocery store chain that was
advertising "eastern corn fed pork" for sale. I was wondering about where they
meant. In this case 'eastern' meant Iowa.

you were one of the legions of idiots who are too
stupid to bother (or care about?) knowing the
correct spelling. The most glaring of these are the

Having lived in Tucson for 29 years this spelling
