I couldn't believe it, all she had to do was pass the written test and eye exam.

I didn't have to take a driving test either. I didn't even learn to parallel park until I was in college. A girl from Indiana showed me. She couldn't believe I had never learned. I couldn't stand driving with my parents. I now parallel park like a champ!

Man, the changes you want us to make are too overwhelming! I agree with everything--except the one about booing the Spurs. We don't do that.....you must have us confused with either the Lakers fans or the Suns fans.

But you're most definitely spot on with everything else you mentioned!
Great post, and great thought went into it--you can surely tell that!!

Wow Phaydee, I can't wait for you to move either! Are you bitter because you can't afford an SUV? Just kidding. Good luck finding the perfect wonderland you speak of.

Actually I drive a miata that runs on biofuel. So if you see a mazda miata in front of you that smells like french fries or spring rolls, that is me!

Thanks for wishing me luck, I am thinking of moving to austin or berlin(wishes for berlin)

I heart you!




But as much as I can find fault with S.A. there is just as much I do love about it. Every place has its flaws and, yes, I've been outside of Texas enough to know.

I heart you too.



I also heart the King Williams District but not the party go'ers
I also heart the majestic theatre but not richie riches over forty that give me dirty looks
I also heart the Igo library
