Depends on what part of Texas. Here in Southeast Texas we are on the edge of
a rain forest that runs East into Florida. There is a National Reserve here
called "The Big Thicket" we get over 100 inches of rain each year and it is
lush, damp, green and humid here. Texas is dry to the West, more or less.
South Texas in the valley they grow oranges and grapefruit and have white
sand beaches on South Padre Island. East Texas is hill country covered with
100' pine trees. What was I saying....... Oh, it depends on what part of
Texas you are talking about.

I was talking about the ugly part. :-)

Yea, but that's not *really* Texas - it's Baja Louisiana. Texas is on the
outskirts of Del Rio ....

Must be talking about Port Arthur and Beaumont area? The home of Janis
Joplin amongst others. We go up the Sabine every trip these days.

The ugliest spot in the country? I'd have to nominate Newport News, VA.
The prettiest spot? Newport News in the rearview mirror.

The Newport News Marine Terminal is one of the nicest, cleanest ports on the
east coast, IMO.

Is this difference of opinion simply a difference in vantage
point, between the landbound Scotty and the seabound Michael?

I purched RedCloud in Sabine, It was sitting uner the Sunshine bridge.
Also rebuildt a few crewboats there in Orange. Also pushed a barge
that brought all the fuel to sabines Grasso fuel dock. It aint the
loveliest port in Texas but it has deep water and it's a good place to
stack drilling rigs. besides It half way in the best state in the
country.

Bwahahahaha Newport news, what a dump, Next to No**** Vargina. Not
much there but Navy and Submarines for sure.
