    Love some pine trees.

    Nothing like a nice cool fall day and being in some thick 20' tall planted pines with a breeze whispering through.

    Great place to take a nap.

      I grew up in the d—n pines. We had to pipe in sunlight.
      Worthless except for framing. Zero wildlife benefit unless you count the s squirrels dropping cones on the driveway.
      We live in the “Big Country” now and
      I love the sunrises, sunsets and night skies.

          You're just getting into the piney woods down there. It easy to lose appreciation for them until you research all the everyday items that SYP is a component of.

              They should cut them all down and pour cement assuring no further trees or plants will grow.

                  If you like changing scenery join an East Tx deer lease. The scenery changes yearly due to clearing and thinning.

But that’s a story for another time.).



                    To make matters worse, it must be Cheer Competition season as my hotel is practically reverberating with hundreds of SPIRITED cheerleaders.



                    I need a cocktail and a steak—rare, Pittsburgh style—and I’m willing to run over little old ladies and babies to get it.
                    If you're in the Woodlands head over to Flemings for a steak.

                      Trees are much large versions of those cotton plants, that are all over the place, up there. I grew up around cotton fields and mesquite down in south Texas.

                        Great idea. I walked over to Morton’s last night. Very underwhelmed.

                          Let's see now..... you go to a place called Woodlands in an area known as the piney woods.... and you wonder what's up with all the pine trees. You might have been in Austin too long.

                            I just passed a place near my hotel called Kirby’s Prime. Any idea how it compares to Fleming’s?

                            For the record, I also just passed a place to get a Thai “massage,” so perhaps that answers my question...

                              Yep. Gossypium is actually a perennial that force to be an annual through harvest. If left alone it will grow to be a shrub and even trees

                                No idea with Kirbys.

                                Fleming is good. Wedge salad, sashimi tuna, asparagus and a T-bone.
