hi! quick question, but what do you think about texas? yeah we're conservative as hell, but as someone who wants to move out of texas to boston immediately, i still love this place. the nature is beautiful, the food is amazing, and it's just got a great country vibe to it.
I love Texas too! I’ve only really spent time in Austin and then out in nature in west Texas so I never really got much of the conservatism, but it’s all absolutely gorgeous and the ecology is really cool.
Also, while I do understand the temptation to move to Boston for many reasons, Whataburger > Wahlburgers and if I downgraded my post-concert burger experience that far, I would cry.

Here in Texas we have this old local chain of convenient stores call Wag-a-Bag and let me tell you, the energy is Not Good. Reality in there is so chaotic and the air buzzes and your vision tunnels, then you walk out and hey, you just bought some taffy. Where’s the price tag? How much was it? Where’s the receipt? It’s crazy and no one goes there anymore but they are still open.
Oooh, I’ve never been in a chain with that kind of chaotic energy, but I’ve been in a single convenience store in northern Utah once and had a similar experience. There was absolutely no pretense of organization, such that one rack had a hunting rifle, a gallon jug of Mountain Dew, a coonskin cap, a row of jumper cables, and a single fresh-baked cinnamon roll. I don’t know why I bought the cinnamon roll, but I did. I had to.

top 5 weird places in Texas perhaps? I’m a sucker for the cowboy/western aesthetic
1) Frio Bat Cave
2) Really all of Big Bend but specifically Lajitas
3) Buckhorn Saloon and Museum in San Antonio
4) Caverns of Sonora
5) J. Lorraine Ghost Town in Austin for the kitschy roadside attraction vibe

Have you ever encountered lovebugs? (A sesonal flying pest of the south?)
I’ve heard of lovebug flights but never encountered them myself. I have a friend in Texas who has sent me photos of his car after driving through swarms and it seems intense to say the least!
