The Pros and Cons of Texas

The Pros
1. The weather. Texas, as most people know, really doesn't have a winter. It does get mildly cold sometimes. Like right now it is about 45 degrees and raining, and it is supposed to get down into the 30's tonight...but by next week it will most likely be back in the 70's. So while those poor saps in the northeast freeze their asses off, I will be down here getting a tan...in January.
2. The Size. Texas is a big state. And all that land means lots of room to put stuff. The outlet center in San Marcos is the biggest outlet strip I've ever seen. It's literally miles long, you need a car to get from one end to the other.
3. The women. So much hotter than anywhere in Maryland or Russia. They are also more intelligent and 10x the fun.
4. The plethora of 24-hour fast food choices. In Maryland pretty much the only widely available late night food option is McDonalds. Not so down here in Texas. In addition to McDonalds, we have Taco Cabana, Whataburger, and Jack in the Box. Taco Cabana is like Taco Bell except a thousand times better in every respect, their quesadillas are heavenly. Whataburger is another excellent alternative, their are somewhat pricey but the food quality is much much higher than a place like McDonalds. Jack in the Box is another burger joint that is pretty much comparable to Mcdonalds, with a Texas twist, since they serve tacos and what not.

The Cons
1. The weather. Not ever seeing snow sucks. Really bad. The summer is also ungodly hot. Like 110+ every day of the week hot. And having to have track practice out in that heat is the worst.
2. The size. Texas is a big freakin state. San Antonio is about an hour away from Austin, 2 hours away from Houston, and a whopping 4 and a half hours away from Dallas. In fact most people fly from San Antonio when they wanna go to Dallas. Coming from a state as small as Maryland, just the thought of getting on a plane and not leaving the state seems pretty ridiculous.
3. No smell of fresh cow manure in the morning.
