My wife and I just had a long talk. Ever since our house burned down years ago, we have preferred to rent. Not any more. She doesn't want to live in Houston any more, and I can't blame her. Constant floods, Hurricane Ike, Tropical Storm Alison, Hurricane Alicia, Tropical Storm Claudette, we've been through them all. And the stress of living in the city? She doesn't want it any more. She's from a small town. I grew up in a huge city. She just won the argument, though, but it didn't take much to convince me. Every time something like this happens, she becomes a nervous wreck. Starting next week, we are going to be shopping for a house, and will be
looking at Trinity, Onalaska, Woodville, and other places at least 120 miles inland from the Gulf Coast, and
not close to any major river, or even small creek. And I won't have far to go for some good hunting either.
Ah, nothing like the pain in the ass of home ownership. LOL.
