Brownsville.........
Visiting the In laws for a week.
Late flights, wrong gates, rental cars bumper falling off, sweltering heat....well in the upper muggy 80's, hotel sucks, Palmetto Bugs (Roaches) as soon as we walked in to the room, shower leaks out the side, no fridge or microwave.....who wants food in here anyway? Hot water is as hot as my cold water at home, pool is as big as my tub and I'm afraid to walk in bare feet.
Buuuuuuut we'll you know what is around here and maybe a shot at some .22 at the new Bass Pro in Harlingen!!!
Gonna make the best of it for the week....now, back to sweating.

I can think of a few places I'd rather be than Brownsville if I were in the Lone Star state.

I'm sorry to hear you are in the valley. I can't say that I've ever enjoyed being there and do not look forward to ever going back. I assume you will go to South Padre. Doesn't everybody?

Be safe and come back in one piece.

If it helps you feel any better about the heat, it was 96 degrees and humid where I was working in Nebraska yesterday.

If the roaches start dying on their own, it's time to swap rooms!

I was in Mineola TX a few weeks ago. Same heat, bugs, humidity but no beer or liquor. Lots of gun shops though.

My thoughts exactly... I would abscond to a much better place for a day, like Corpus (which isn't that much better, but it's a damn sight better than Brownsville. Padre, meh, too much of a fuster cluck. Once you pass San Antonio you're passed all the good stuff TX has to offer. Rico, let us know when you get back, so we know you survived the trip. [Beer]

That was quick. We will be in TX for the month of June, but not in Brownsville! Off the top of my head I can't think of any good reason to be there...

Oh yeah, big ass roaches in Tx. Enjoy the warmth. We have a chance of snow over the weekend.

The TX and OK june bugs hitting my HD's windshield @ 80 were no picnic.

Hit a Whattaburger and grab a few long necks. Drop by Stilettos, and enjoy the ac.

Loved me some late night Whataburger back in the day. Not sure I'll go back to Texas for it though. Get back safe.

At least you had a windshield, last time I ran into them I at least had a lid but no windshield. My jacket looked like I puked down the front of it.

Some of my wife's family is in McAllen. Her family used to own the King Ranch and the statue when you enter South Padre island is one of her relatives. I do my very best to NOT go down there.

I'm going to be in Lubbock Texas in October for a wedding. I'm not looking forward to going down there. It is too hot there.
