So who is from around Houston?
I'm guessing I'll be moving there by the end of the year if the interview goes well next week.

I live in NW Houston, Cypress exactly. PM me if you have any more specific questions.

Traffic is gonna suck nuts everywhere from 6:30 to 9:00 in the morning. But, since your office is near the Beltway, you should be able to live anywhere on the West side of town w/o too bad of a commute.

If you're single and can afford it, live inside 610. You'd commute against the traffic flow and would be closer to the real goings on of the city, especially the night life.

If you've a family, Sugar Land is really nice and Katy isn't bad.

Where exactly on the NW side are you?

Heh, we lived in JV. We had a truck that had been repaired, including replacing a broken windshield. The body shop simply peeled the inspection sticker off the old one and affixed it to the new window. _One_ of the edges was curled a bit.

I took the truck to visit a friend. Passed a JV cop going the other way. He practically spun the car around in the street (Jersey Drive). I was getting out of the truck, when he came sliding into my friend's driveway with the lights flashing. You'd have thought I was deliveing a ton of coke to my friend.

He got out and asked if I knew why he was there. Of course, I didn't, and said so. He told me the inspection sticker had been altered. I looked at it, noted the curled _corner_, and mentioned that my Dad had recently had the truck repaired and the windshield replaced. He told me the truck needs to get a new inspection, that that sticker is now illegal. Luckily, he didn't peel that one off, but we got the truck inspected again.

Amazing, but true.
