You said you are NOT a Houston(ian) or even a Texas and yet you have lived
near two to them - mind telling us where you lived.

It is one of THE longest hiking / biking trails in Houston and you don't
know about it and YET you are telling ME all about Houston. Dah - I think
your credibility is slipping.

BTW - Go to Memorial near Eldridge - it is in that neighborhood.

Yep, Houston and the country side around Houston has PINES and LOTS and LOTS
of pines - They are the tree of preference for "Tree Farmers" who have cut
down the native forest and replanted the forest in tree farms.

Yep, the oaks around Rice and West U are nice - For Houston - but do not
compare to areas that have real trees everywhere. Amazing what the "Money
People" in the Rice and West U can buy. What about the poor slobs in the
majority of Houston neighborhoods who have "Arizona Ash" and call them
trees.

Not my problem - I don't live there anymore. - Nor do you - nor did you by
your own admission.
