It is Good?

 So, we've been on the road for what seems like a long while now. 

It's good to be home. 

I don't know, we have problems here in SETX. I often wax philosophically about this area. And I often get frustrated with "here." 

But, those pine tree are good to come home too. 

We at least know how to cook rice. We are still for the most part, nice to folks. 

Housing is still somewhat affordable. Then again, who else, but us would want to live here, and I am among the first to get upset with the thinking here, and yes, I am forever going to try and make people here realize that it is no longer 1952. And often our choices here are still stuck here. 

And it is good to leave and see the other side, and yes, I encourage people to see the world. And for many of you, well, you need to go away. 

Some to see and stay, others to see and decide, perhaps it's not that bad back home. 

I don't know, the state is changing in certain areas, regions, so much, well they'll never be the same. They've become a California, a sanitized version of Texas, something so different their grandparents would not recognize it. And while we need to pull ourselves into 2025, stop hating so many other people, but on the other side of the coin, our ancestors would still recognize the place.  

It's good to be home. As many of you know, I now walk with a cane. People here held the doors open for me yesterday, and I made sure I thanked them....In other places, we may as well be in New York and people, especially youth, about knock you down trying for whatever reason to be first in the door.....  

And I thank you parents here for teaching your kids..... Yes sir, yes ma'am, holding doors especially for older folks. And I wonder if at some people that'll go away too?  

It's good to be home....
