A Conversation

Me: So, how do you like living in Texas?

Engineer: Well, I live in Austin, and Austin is great. It's probably the only part of the state I would live in. I mean, Texas has a lot of Rednecks, and conservatives and the lot. Lots of people I try to stay away from.

Me: yeah [thinking yeah, those stupid people]

Engineer: Do you remember the 2004 election between Bush and Kerry?

Me: yep

Engineer: Yeah, every county in the state in Texas voted for Bush except the county which Austin is in.

Me: oh wow. [thinking man those people must be hard to deal with]

Engineer: but Austin is great otherwise.

me: yeah, i don't know if i could live without the change in seasons.
