I agree that this is lots of fun, but I'd strongly recommend waiting until
the weather cools some.  The train is NOT airconditioned, and for portions
of the ride is sitting still in the sun.

Well, I just paid $80 to register a car that is worth $400.

That is so ridiculously silly and stupid that it is hardly worth
mentioning. I'd much prefer paying that $80 in little drabbles year-round
than have to walk around all day with $80 in *CASH* in my pocket (Gawd!
Ever been in the Wards while carrying upwards of $100 in your pockets?!).

I won't mention the ridiculousness of having to go around to fifty
different places to handle transfering your license plates and drivers
license... so far, I've spent three afternoons on the task, and there is at
least one left (I have my plates now, so now and ONLY now can I transfer my
license).

By the way, the title on my car will say "Chevrolet four-door". Sheesh. Not
even the COLOR! Obviously DMV here can't do the trick they do elsewhere of
saying "well, he says a red Ford Ranger hit him, what are all the red Ford
Rangers registered in Harris County?". My Chevrolet is a CHEVETTE. WHich is
not on that stupid form. Neither is its correct weight. 3600 pounds dry?
Joke! (2600 pounds, maybe).

Yep, the county tax office definitely gave me a good ole' fashioned Texas
"Howdy." Strangely enough, it looked an aweful lot like the New York state
salute, which is done with the middle finger of the hand.

Since some poepl here seem to know something about Texas parks, I have
a simple question.  Are there any parks (state or national) in Texas 
that have fresh-water springs (deep if possible) good for swimming
and snorkeling?  A few months ago I discovered some in the Oconee
National Forest in North Florida, and its some of the best fresh-water
snorkeling I've seen.  Since these springs weren't well publicized,
I'm guessing that some other national parks might have them as well.

Thanks for any input.

Well, the money from the lottery that you're talking about isn't new  
revenue, as your post seems to imply.  The revenue from that is going to  
keep already-in-place programs funded in *current* levels, measured in  
constant dollars.  It's not a new cash cow.  The Lege had several choices  
before it last session:  pass an income tax (which few outside Bob  
Bullock were brave enough to advocate), pass a lottery, or crank up user  
fees by a few thousand percent on all sorts of things and close some  
exemptions in the sales tax (which they also did).  The other possibility  
they could have chosen was to crank up the sales tax into the 10% range.  
That wasn't very popular politically, either.
 
 
 
I've thus far refused to play the lottery.  I think the Lege shoulda gone  
on and had the collective balls to pass an income tax, which is far  
overdue in this state, but since they didn't and passed a lottery  
instead, the only way I can protest is by refusing to buy into their  
lottery.

	I think the "Lege shoulda gone on and had the collective balls to"
stop spending so much money.  Income tax overdue?  At the current federal
income tax rate plus 8.5% sales tax, plus excise taxes, plus oil taxes,
plus battery reclaimation taxes, plus tire taxes, plus property taxes, etc...
you think we are overdue for another tax?  If you count it up, government gets
close to over 40% of ALL your money.  Isn't that just more than enough?

	New taxes aren't overdue, new politicians are...

	I for one will not play the lorttery. However, I think that if they
were going to increase income, they chose the right way: Voluntary taxation.
Actually, it is a gambling tax.  I choose to think of it as a Stupidity Tax,
a tax that I have been wanting to see for quite some time...

Why is an income tax anything to be tolerated in Texas, let alone overdue? Not
having one is a major advantage Texas has in attracting business to the state.

I play the lottery exactly because I feel it should be encouraged, as the only
voluntary (and, according to libertarians, moral) tax around.

No, it is an IGNORANCE tax.  We have a public educational system that
does a miserable job of educating people, and then we tax the people
who have the random bad luck of not having had better opportunities.

For any park in the dryer regions of Texas, leave the springs to the local

in an already overburdened water supply.

I'd highly recommend Palo Duro Canyon, just south of Amarillo.  There's
a nice state park there, and some very nice scenary.  Lots of hiking
trails.  I stayed there a week, and only saw part of it.  Its
especially nice if you can get there shortly after a rain, since the
wet, clay cliffs are very colorful.

Also, someone else mentioned Arkansas.  I recently visited Petite Jean
state park.  It is also very nice, with lots of camping, a big lodge, a
big canyon (well, relatively speaking, not as big as the Grand Canyon
or even Palo Duro,) and a very nice waterfall.  Mostly, in Arkansas,
the camping is first come, first served, unlike Texas' reservation
policy.  It got pretty full on the weekends, but if you arrive during
the week there should be plenty of empty sites.  You can call
1-800-natural to get info.  They have a number of interesting places
down in the southwest part of the state that are pretty close to
Dallas.

Also, if you're into trains at all, the Texas State Railroad between
Rusk and Palestine is close and fun.  Call well in advance for
reservations (1-800-442-8951).

Well, I can't answer all that, but I *can* tell you that car licensing in  
Texas is done at the County Clerk's office (downtown at the courthouse or  
sometimes at satellite locations--I wouldn't try a satellite office if  
you're doing a first-time licensing, though.  Call first to make sure).
 
 
 
Taxes and license plate fees in Texas have to do with how old your car  
is.  The older the car, the less it costs to get tags.  As for how much  
they're gonna hit you for taxes, call the County Clerk and ask.  You'll  
probably get some runaround, but eventually you'll get your answer.

Lighten up.  Has it even occurred to you that people might be very
