I tire of non-residents comments about how pretty the scenery is in East Texas. Yes, we have tall pine trees and lost of other green plants. I pretty sure I’ve seen some green animals too. But, all one has to do is be here in the summer and you lose your interest in the beauty of your surroundings.
When the temperature reaches 99 degrees and the relative humidity is 99 percent, this place just loses it’s luster for me. That’s probably why we left East Texas when I was five years old. Heat and humidity is tough on an old man.
But then, there’s my mother-in-law who is 87 and wears a sweater in the summer.
I should have waited until I was 105 before moving back.
