Texas is ugly
So here we go...sorry to all of you Texas readers, but I've got some stuff on my chest I need to share. First and foremost, Texas is ugly. Specifically the roadsides of Texas are ugly. For those of you familiar with Texas, you may not recognize it, but there is an EPIDEMIC in Texas, and it has spread to every access road and by-way. It's called CHEAP METAL BUILDINGS FALLING DOWN AND SELLING CRAP EVERYWHEREITIS, and it's a powerful, deadly disease. I just spent the better part of 16 (yea, 16) hours over THREE days driving around the Lonestar state, so I had plenty of time to consider the Texas countryside. And what a countryside it is...for those who aren't familiar, a primer:
In Texas, many years ago, someone obviously decreed the following statement:
Now if you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Texas and spending an ungodly amount of time driving along the interstate, you might think I'm exaggerating. You might think "Well, maybe the highways are bad, but I'm sure the countryside is beautiful." You would be DEAD WRONG. Apparently having a real job in Texas is not a viable option for 67% of the population (not statistically verified) if the road side stands are any indication. Got Junk? Set it out by the road. Apparently you'll make a killing, if the amount of junk being sold along the road is any indication.
I have proof of all this nonsense, but it's on my wife's computer. I will post it soon. Texas friends, you can't deny this. It doesn't mean you're bad...just that your roadways are ugly. God Bless Texas.
In Texas, many years ago, someone obviously decreed the following statement:
Hear ye hear ye, all those with no sense of style or architectural leanings, I hearby decree that in Texas we shall have no building code, no sense of what might look nice or not look nice along the sides of our roads. We shall encourage the senseless sprawl that shall waste space with concrete statues and Jim's Industrial Supplies. Of course you can take over that building along I-10 and make it a Tattoo Parlor. It's Texas!
