[Les Paul]

From Abilene to Austin is some beautiful country. Not flat at all. My wife was born in the panhandle where there is either ranch land, wheat land, cotton, or corn if it is irrigated and it is flat and very boring. 4 actual seasons but the ever present annoying wind.

Growing up in the 50's and 60's my dad was a geologist for a major and we moved every 2 years all over Texas just like military. In the having lived in Texas 50 out of 58 years I've come to several glaring things about the weather. There is Austin heat and humidity where my son lives and we visit every other month. My brother lives in The Woodlands north of Houston and it is 3 shower a day country if you're outside at all from June-Sept. stifling hot. There are still plenty of small towns all around Austin that have really nice but reasonably priced property. When my wife retires we're heading to someplace near Austin.
