    I'm looking out of my office window and
    there are trees everywhere. Mostly pine
    trees but many oaks are also present.
    We are close enough to the New Smog Capital
    to benefit from the carbon dioxide but
    rain has been sparse this year. Where
    am I?

    there are pines everywhere. they have lots of papermills in houston, from what i understand, being close to the water, and being in and around vast land, pine country....

    there's a town southwest of houston called needville.

    needville, texas.

    i think it's a crime that that hasn't become the name of a sitcom yet.

    or the name of the town just south of it:

    guy, texas.

    God bless Chocolate City and its vanilla suburbs
    Can y'all get to that?

    Sarah's post reminded me of a great one...

    In Minnesota, we have cities named Fertile and Climax that are a short distance rom each other. The best newspaper headline in state history involved the two towns.

    "Fertile woman dies in Climax"

    I am not even kidding.
