So the last 3 years I've been in Houston, I have been reminded by people who have lived here for awhile about Houston during the mid 1980s when there a huge oil bust in the town then. So its interesting, I have seen it at its economic height, but it's looking more and more like a bust about to hit. If them prices go under $20.............Of course, it'll cycle back up again at some point.

All those people who worked offshore and overseas with Halliburton, KBR, Schlumberger in the mid 2000's and was eating good are legit struggling now.

Most can barely find work now because oil companies put a freeze on hiring.

But I just filled up my tank for less than $20 so I'm good

I can't actually remember getting bitten in Houston, especially living as close to downtown as I do. However, like this article shows there are plenty of places that can allow breeding grounds for mosquitoes................................It's going be fuucked and sad spring/summer for some people. I assume.........until people's bodies are immune..... I assume

They saying perfect conditions in Houston???

Flooding can occur almost yearly, especially starting around April. Hurricanes are actually not that bad of a problem.

Race relations are cool. We are VERY diverse... I think the most diverse, other than NY.

fukk those Road tolls

Dollar rent a car sent me a bill for $120 for covering $10 Worth of tollways. The rest of the money they charged me are convenience fees .

I went everywhere when I was in Dallas -Fort Worth last year, being later charged $30 for using the toll ways . They didn't charge me those DAMN fees for covering the cost
