The distance between Cincinnati in the southwest and Cleveland in the northeast is the distance Houston is from Dallas. One of my favorite Texas-pride things is driving west on I-10 from Louisiana into Texas. You see the mile markers on the La. side counting down (4, 3, 2, 1) then you hit the Welcome to Texas sign. One of the first signs you see is the mileage it takes to get to El Paso: 867 or so. Love it!Scott D.

Grrr! I'm happy you loved MbtB as much as I (and so many more) do. Fantastic store, simply the best at what they do. <br /><br />Re: Houston - Well, I was born/raised/now live here. It's my town and I love it. Traffic is a full-contact sport usually. Blinkers are optional and usually only give other drivers reason to cut you off. Wish I still had my F-150 instead of my Matrix. Anyway, glad you enjoyed your trip.Scott D.

I'll be sure to drop by. Sounds like a great place.Cullen Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236957954996740924noreply@blogger.com
