We moved to Houston one month ago. I thought I would drop the blog when we returned from Taiwan, but I think it might be OK to keep it going. I decided this for a couple of reasons: first, people have blogs about their life - not just while they are traveling; and second, living in Texas, I sort of feel as if I am living in another country. Some folks here like to think of themselves as living in the "nation" of Texas and its all new to me.
We are official - we recently acquired the appropriate drivers license and license plates to prove it. I had several 'incidents' involving a lack of Texas Driver License. After we unpacked, I wanted to recycle our boxes and paper, so I loaded it all up into the truck and took it to a waste center. They were not going to allow me to recycle it there because I did not have a local identification! It was as if I had driven our moving boxes across state lines just to throw them out. Preposterous, of course. Luckily, after I promised to bring BBQ ribs to the gentlemen who worked there, he agreed to walk my ID up to the office with his fingers covering the name of the state. Ay yiy yiy... The other 'incident" was at 24 Hour Fitness and was much less pleasant or amusing, so I'll just skip it. Anyway, I spent all day on Monday acquiring the license plates ($400!) and the identification. I think my eyes are crossed in the photo, but oh well, what are you going to do?
