San Antonio has none of those at all.
Your sarcasm is lost to those who have not experience those sites you speak of, and also on those who have not yet come to appreciate them due to have seen grander wonders.

Can someone appreciate the size of our jackrabbits when they are used to seeing kangaroos? The armadillo when they have walked with elephants? Sorry grasshopper, they must learn to appreciate the relatively mundane on their own before they will bow to your respect of it.

But elephants poop bigger than armadillos.

That just makes walking with the armadillo that much more pleasant. But the elephant doesn't dig as many holes in your yard and is good for the roses.

That reminds me of this girl I went to school with while in the military. She was from Orange County, CA and a shining example of their best and brightest too.. She had heard from someone that there was only one tree in Texas and she asked the Texans in the class if it was located in San Antonio. She was pretty excited about seeing it because that was where most of us were going to work after graduation.. She was dead serious too

I should hook her up with a guy I know. He called me to tell me that a seagull had flown into the backyard and should he open the gate to let it out.
