That was a wonderful description of Texas ! I totally agree, I visited there once (never again) their waves in south Texas totally suck and the water looks like chocolate milk. I saw a small hammerhead shark cruising around while I was standing in chest deep water 300 yards from shore and never did get to the break, especially with that damned shark swimming around, I went back in and ate oysters and marvelled at how and why people would live here.
