That speed is about par in many places. Speed limits are artificially low. Cops can write as many tickets as they want. It's rediculous.

I jump on my bicycle and it get no speed tickets, but it take me 20 min at a speed of 5 to 10km upphill, to campus 10 to15 min back home downhill.( and possible a broken arm soon since the snow came monday lol)

These days I take a ferry to work. I have a 2 minute walk to the wharf and the ferry drops me off about 200 yards from my office.

It's a really cool way to get there...no more risking life and limb on my bike.

HAH! I was in Dallas once and hated it, although buddies of mine from the United Counties of Texas have informed me that the Houstan area is much nicer (and smells better).

Guns, check.

Sunshine, check.

AH HQ, check.

REAL BBQ, check.

I just might like it down there.

About the only city in Texas worse than Dallas is Houston; come to God's Country!

I have to disagree with you there Liz. While I agree houston suckors bigtime, Dallas is worse in my opinion. Central Texas is the best place on the planet though.

Houston is ok, if you like continous suana like weather. Humid, hot,..then cold and humid.

Austin is a nice area, but during some parts of the summer it can get pretty miserable due to the lack of wind in a lot of areas (hills and valleys abound). Cannot beat the lakes around Austin. They are absolutely the best.

DF/W (Dallas/Ft.Worth) is a bit unique. Two cities which have very different cultures and lifestyles. Dallas wants to be a New York type of city. The hustle and bustle and fast pace (well,..fast for us Texans) directly contrast with Ft. Worths mild mannered slow Southern style and pace.

Between all of the them, I think it is easier to find diversity in the DF/W area. And the world-class airport makes it easy to plan trips to just about anywhere on the planet.

One constant; Texas (not transplants so much, nor Bubba when he is on a beer binge,..or worse,..when Bubba is outta beer) folks are about as friendly as it gets.

I like Austin.

I don't know if that is a plus or minus for Austin Funk.
