I flew in to Galveston, TX (just outside of Houston) yesterday and it's not quite what I expected. I think Texas, you think warm and dry. It's in the mid-40's and rainy - but I can see palm trees and the ocean from my hotel room window. I once read that there are more churches and more strip clubs per capita than any other city in America. Driving to Galveston through Houston I must have seen 50 strip clubs along the expressway. I saw an interesting example of this dichotemy (good word, eh?) as I drove by a huge billboard for a strip club called "Heartbreakers" and behind it was another billboard that read "Jesus Heals the broken hearted".
