#6 Just came in from the Austin hot sun from filling up my gas tank, while the Texas wind was blowing my hair to new heights! Yep, we got plenty of wind.

#8 Besoeker -- so very, very tempting! The Hill Country - a great git-away place from Austin. Got some favorite places to keep the sanity.

#10 Besoeker, Navajo Grill is good, but we go for the German food. I Like Der Lindenbaum, but the biergarten style places are pretty good too. As for Austin, I second that. Land of fruits and nuts.

#11 Der Lindenbaum is good also!

#12 FYI. Don't ever live near wind farms. The low-level vibrations from the turning blades will bake your brain and make you really, really sick. Not good for humans or animals, and of course birds get whacked by the thousands. "oooohhh . . . wind power . . . !" More "green" idiocy.

#14 Austin is full of nuts, but there's lots good to eat round here. :) Rudy's BBQ is one good one...

#15 We have Maxene Waters and Barbara Boxer. No way Texas can compete with that.

#16 Read up some on Sheila Jackson Lee -- United States Representative, District 18 from Houston.
Posted by Sherry 2006-08-01 16:48||   2006-08-01 16:48|| Front Page Top

#17 Agreed.
Maximum sustained hot air velocity for:
Maxine Waters: 120kts
Barbara Boxer: 230kts
Sheila Jackson Lee: 500kts

Therefore, Sheila Jackson Lee provides 30% more wind than Barbara Boxer and Maxine Waters combined! Texas wins again!
