It's a weird college town, but as you point out, it's in Texas. And the people are friendlier. Even the liberals are less condescending. <br /><br />Oh, you do need a license to hunt wild hogs, only you don't need to tag them. No license for Coyote though.TOTWTYTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221321904364051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-78945147041002731562011-04-12T14:56:54.957-04:002011-04-12T14:56:54.957-04:00Of all the places I've lived other than back h...Of all the places I've lived other than back home, I liked Texas the most.

If you run into a tal, bearded man wearing a UT cheerleader outfit (the women's version, not the men's) on South Congress, that's Leslie Cochran, Austin's most famous cross dresser/street person. I can't say I know where the Crystal/Tarot district is, but the area just south of Downtown would be where I'd start looking.Daddy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386749814126280114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-62212800948487390042011-04-12T09:50:28.002-04:002011-04-12T09:50:28.002-04:00"It's full of college students and worse ..."It's full of college students and worse yet, professors."<br /><br />And worse yet, politicians.<br /><br />"...the town would be more interesting if it was 'Keep Austin Weerd!'"<br /><br />Hey, if Weer'd ever wanted to move here, I'd welcome him and Mrs. Weer'd with open arms and a case of (quality) beer.<br /><br />One of the Austin suburbs has an unofficial slogan: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/owenkun/3597005040/" rel="nofollow">"Keep Round Rock Mildly Unusual."</a> <br /><br />And you can also get <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/austinnormal" rel="nofollow">"Keep Austin Normal."</a> stuff.

It's full of college students and worse yet, professors.<br /><br />It's a beautiful city, but the most liberal in the Lone Star State.<br /><br />We don't have an income tax, but we pay sales tax, property tax and a buttload of other hidden taxes called 'fees'. Oh and toll roads are the all the rage here in the Lone Star State. <br /><br />Despite its imperfections, I can't imagine living anywhere else.<br /><br />I think it's too early, but find out when the bats come out in the evenings in Austin. There is a place where you can go, a bridge there downtown, and hundreds of thousands of bats live there and in the evenings come out to feed. It's supposedly a spectacular sight, though I've never seen it myself.Southern Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04847654788277662652noreply@blogger.com
