Why do so many strange things happen in Texas ?
362056
What may seem strange to you may not be strange to others. Can you give some examples of strange things that happen in Texas.\n\nOne strange thing about Texas, we are all free to think and believe whatever we want as long as we are polite about it.\n\nI wonder how many people who answer this question have ever been to Texas? I would guess by the answers, none.

That sounds like a measurement problem where the surveys when they were made did not meet at the same point and as a result there is some land between to deeded parcels of land that legally doesn't belong with either parcel of land.\n\nIn Texas that is called vacated land and belongs to the state.

Sure. I think it happens to most people from time to time. Sometimes something will happen to me and it seems like I have done it or been there before. Weather that's being precognitive or Dejavu or what i don't know but yes, it has happened to me. i like to think that it has more to do with common sense. Like when you drive down the road and subliminally you see a sign on the side of the road that says deer crossing and you don't register seeing it but you did. next the car you are driving in strikes a deer. Seeing the sign didn't make it happen but it sent you a subliminal message that hey we might hit a deer. States don't waste money just putting those signs up for no reason. they are installed because an inordinate amount of deer have been struck crossing the road on that stretch of highway. There is the common sense factor again. Most of us travel the same roads all the time and we have seen deer struck or laying on the side of the road in that area so subliminally the thought is planted. if you really believe that you can see things before they happen then next time do something to alter that. Pull over to the side of the road for a few minutes or do something that might alter the outcome. Like I have said all along it is common sense really and nothing more miraculous then that.

I'm from Texas and it definitely has its charms. Houston is a great place..so is Austin. Every place has its pros and cons though. People are overall friendly, there are lots of good places to eat and things to do. But there are a lot of Bush supporters! ;)

I wasnt aware of it  and I was born here and lived here most of my life...I have lived other places and Texans are known for there hospitality..are you sure you dont have a baad personal perspective? I have found most people seem to look at most Texans in a positve light...outside of our former Governor who is currently ram roding the nation.

My God makes the weather, of course I believe in Him with all my heart.  Here in Texas we have rain, heat, sleet, a little snow, lots of dryness, but have never had "ethical" weather.  what is it exactly?

They have a lot of the same things that DFW has to offer..Since it is hotter out there..You have lots of swimming pools. Hard to find a place around that doesn't. But, that is usually in the early evening to start with. If you have an apartment..chances are you have a swimming pool there....

Texas is a great state because it has just about everything!  Wanna live by the beach?  You've got the Gulf coast.  Wanna live in beautiful rolling hill country?  Central Texas.  Wanna live the big city life?  Dallas, Houston, San Antonio.  Wanna live amongst woods and trees?  Go to east Texas.  Wanna live in desert area?  West Texas.  Beautiful plains where you can see for MILES?  Up in the good ol' Panhandle.  There is truly something for everyone in Texas.\n\nThe people of Texas are very diverse as well.  For example, the Panhandle is very conservative whereas Austin can be pretty liberal.  Texas pride runs very deep.  It is a place full of rich history and a colorful past.  And yes, Texas History is taught in school.  If I remember correctly, I took it in 4th grade and 7th grade.  (Once in elementary and once in junior high.)  And no.  The vast majority of Texas is NOT racist.  Unfortuantely, there are stereotypes, and some bad apples, just like every other place on earth.\n\nSo no matter your preferences, you're bound to find a place perfect for you in Texas.  :)
