You selling Rovers now? I dealt with Allan Lux back in '97 and Frank Banning at the North store on the SC Sport. Get tired of peddling suds?

Wow,
I was in ohio, a month or two ago for business, cold, cold, my plant supervisors who used to work there for P&G, said it was the closest thing to hell on earth, and the funny thing is they all say they thought ohio was a great place untill they moved to Texas, now I couldnt pay them enough to move back. I really have not spent much time in Ohio, so I am just going by my friends opinions, but my advice is to get here (to Texas) as fast as you can, you will love it, Clear Lake, or the Woodlands and you will be thrilled. I know of a few apartments that have complimentary boat slips. I have not looked into the specific details of the deal, but one place is around 500-600/month for a 1 bedroom, and you are on the water,(clearlake), with a slip, not sure if the slip is for weekend use only, or what rules apply, but I am looking into it. Maybe you should come down, stay in a inntown suite in the clearlake, woodlands, or houston area for a month or two, and get a feel for the place. Inntown suites around here are $159 a week, I put contractors up in them all the time.

I have lived in Houston off and on for the last seven years. I will say this that the boating is great, the women are good looking, but can be snobs just like the ones up north. The weather is a lot like Miami without the every afternoon showers. The biggest suggestion that I can make is that if you want make life decent, live very close to where you work. I tried to commute thing for a while, but it SUCKED. I have a friend that lived 17 miles away from my office and every time during rush hour it was an hour + commute, sometimes two hours.

I don't know what type of boating you are used to, but the Bay is where to go. Get someone to take you out more than once before going at it alone though. Conroe(some people love it) is a large pond IMHO it is fun for smaller craft, but offshore boats get very tiresome up there.

Beaches you won't get them, but going offshore can be nice.

The cost of living is very low i mean VERY low in comparison to other areas of the country.

Cheers.

While the areas may be unknown to you, the descriptions of the dolls should suffice enough for you to make a guess as to the type of neighborhood.
