You clearly didn’t spend time in the right places if you missed all the hot women. The Metroplex has a ridiculous amount of them…this is the main reason we stay where it’s this hot in the summer.

The humidity is not normally that bad. You came during a weird atmosphere in the area. Those storms were wicked but happen alot during the summertime. Normally don’t stick around as long as they did but like I said it was a unique atmosphere last week.

Sideways stop lights? Maybe they got turned cause of the storms but I have never seen those I don’t think.

All that road construction is much needed.

All the hot women are at the lakes not at Hurricane Harbor or Six Flags

Hope you enjoyed your visit slc. I wouldn’t trade Texas for anywhere in the world.

Agree w/ the Admiral on the women, must’ve been in the wrong places. A lot of them are working women or co-eds, don’t know how many make it out to the ballpark. We don’t have beaches, so you gotta go to the lakes.

Y’all come back now, ya here. (#208) :)

We could’ve gone on a tour of Morrison Mills.

random question 1: hows baseball up your way?

random point 1: gf’s family lives in the SLC area
random point 2: may be making a trip through the area in the next year or so (driving) with my brother and have been wondering for a while

random question 2: is the smog in SLC as bad as ive read or just “meh” lol

to the heat. takes a while though.

I always enjoy hearing people’s comments about Texas.

Any reason for the sideways stop lights?

I know they are in Houston, but I didn’t think they were in DFW. Maybe just Arlington?

Where were all the hot Texas women? I saw a couple here and there. However for the most part I was very disappointed. Certainly didn’t compare to California women in the summer.

They all go to SMU, TCU, UT, and Baylor for their MRS degrees. You should have walked around those neighborhoods.
 

Damn will they deep fry anything in the south (and yes I consider Texas the south). My dad had deep fried corn on the cob at one place we ate. Way to make even vegetables unhealthy Texas!

Maybe, but the food was better than anything you’ve eaten in Salt Lake. And I can say that since I’ve been to SLC a few times and while some of the food is good, it isn’t Texas good.

We were refered to as “y’all” 207 times.

I call people “y’all” in San Diego and they laugh at me. Screw’em. That’s the best term for referring to 2nd person plural.

Pretty crazy storm a week ago. The wind and thunder Wednesday night followed by all the rain the next morning. I thought I was going to be in for a long trip. Luckily the rest of the time the weather was alright. I assume those kinds of storms happen often there though.

You’re lucky. I miss those big storms. You’ll be fine, tornadoes only hit trailer parks

Drove through both Dallas and Fort Worth. Overall wasn’t too impressed. However only spent about an hour in each city and we didn’t know where we were going so I know we missed most of it.

Both cities have nice areas, but I think most Texas cities (other than San Antonio) aren’t good for “in and out” tourist visits. You need to know where to go. Both cities have amazingly dumpy areas as well.
 

The biggest thing though was the damn humidity. I really don’t understand how you guys can live down there in the summer. There was overcast most of the time we were there, but it was still very humid. I’ve always been one to dismiss people when the talk about the Texas heat and their players struggling when the summer kicks in, but I’m not so sure I can do that now. It does have to be challenging to play in that humidity sometimes.

 
You live with the humidity by staying inside where the wonderful invention of air conditioning exists. Much better than the Northeast, where it is just as hot and humid during the summer but people stubbornly refuse to install air conditioners in their places.

People were very nice.

Nicest people on earth.

Though you guys up in SLC are pretty nice too. Much nicer than the superficial Californians and just cranky northerners.

I am from Florida and I always think it is funny when people complain about the humidity here in North Texas.

Apologies for all the road construction. Obviously the new stadium has the city in a frenzy to expand transportation-wise.

And yeah, it’s hard to be impressed with Dallas or Fort Worth if you didn’t spend a lot of time in either city. Arlington isn’t very scenic by any means. It’s just Everytown, USA with a baseball team (and a football team, I know, roll with it)… probably isn’t very far off from an Anaheim.

I can honestly say that mr. freeze is the best roller coaster i’ve ever been on, especially when they keep you stuck for 5 seconds. The only thing that really interests me about Titan is the first drop. After that, its just all right. And you’re right about Texas Giant, that thing is too bumpy. Its not really worth the line when there is one.

how/why are you a Rangers fan if you’ve never been to Texas? Just curious…
