Hello all,

Just commenting on Jim's idea.

I like it and I'd do it.

I prefer Austin to Dallas (and not just 
because I live here, but because Austin
is a Different Kind of Place and because
it's Silicon Hills).

But I'd go anywhere within reason.

Off-topic:

As for people's comments about the heat
and humidity in Texas... they are absolutely
correct.

A high over 100 is extremely common, and
occasionally I have seen it over 110.

And if the humidity could find a way to go
above 100%, it would.

To describe it as miserable would be an act
of unkindness against the word "miserable."

But hey, it's cool indoors...  :)  And an occasional
trek outside makes you appreciate the inside
that much more.

Cheers,
Hal Fulton
