I’m in a small town called Taylor Lake Village, on the Galveston Bay coast. I’m about 30 minutes Southeast of Houston.
I know where Taylor Lake is! But if you're about 30 minutes SE of Houston than it's not during rush hour.

I was born in Port Arthur and spent a good portion of my youth in the Golden Triangle area of Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange. My three sisters in their families are still spread across that area.

Yeah, I don't go to Houston if there MIGHT be traffic. That's a good hour and a half.
I was born and raised in Pasadena, I'm only 20 minutes from home, but it feels like I got out.

Welcome from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!
Joe, what part of the upper peninsula are you in? I used to be a musician in another life, the band I was in toured through Marquette at least twice a year. I can't remember the name of the place we played, but it was a restaurant, and had live entertainment at night. Summers there are as good as anywhere on Earth, but Winter I remember were as bad as I have ever been in.
I do miss going there.

Small world: I live about 20 miles south of Marquette. Summers here are gorgeous, and winters are ok too, but they do start getting monotonous after 5th month/20’ of snow!
