Chicago Vs. Houston...!

Baby Sis sent me an interesting chart that I thought I'd share with you! I hope you find it informative!

CHICAGO VS. HOUSTON: 
 A Tale of Two Cities 
 Chicago, IL                                   Houston, TX

I guess it's all in how you look at it. I don't think I'll move to Chicago anytime soon, though.

Coffee in the kitchen this morning. It's suppose to rain today!

    Don't blame you Mr. Hermit. I don't think anyone wants to go there. It's raining here now. Today is a good day for jelly donuts - I'll bring a big bag to go with your good coffee.

    On those nice cool Chicago mornings they get up and say, "Nice day for a murder."

    I don't blame you either. I live 90 miles from Chicago and will drive just as far out of my way to avoid driving thru Chicago. Whenever we drive south we drive thru Rockford, IL and Bloomington, IL just to avoid Chicago. However, they do now have a conceal carry law - strictest requirements in the US. IL is one state I refuse to ever live in. Sun is shining right now but supposed to get rain today.

    I won't be moving there and this town is getting bad enough.

    Your getting rain? Thought we might get some yesterday but sadly no.

    Pass the pot please.

    Hey Phyllis...
    Jelly donuts sounds good this morning.

    I'll be passing on going there myself!



    Hey Sixbears...
    I'm afraid that's about it!

    Thanks for coming over today!



    Hey Linda M...
    Sounds to me like avoidance is a good idea! I am glad that they have a CC law on the books!

    Thanks for coming over today!



    Hey Jo...
    You and I are too far south to want to go there!

    Raining off and on even as we talk!

    Thanks, sweetie, for dropping in today!



    Hey Mamahen...
    I reckon the young folks would be attracted to the night life. I'll pass just the same!

    Many thanks for stopping by today!
