my part of town's a bit more dangerous since Katrina - lots of apartments north of us including some really ratty ones - and about 1-2 miles north of us is
a murder hot spot

Mine, too, CBR. I'm planning on moving farther North over the summer, to get away from the trash. The other day, there were a few helicopters hovering far
too close to my 'hood. I found out later knives and guns were drawn when a water baloon fight somehow went awry.

Our big problem is vehicle break-ins and petty theft. Gotta love Houston.

C'mon people! Let's focus on the important stuff like regular or spicy!

Spicy. If I wanted regular, I'd go to KFC or Church's. And breasts and thighs only, please.

spicy, definitely
and Mr CBR caught some guys trying to break into our cars, they fled over the fence dropping their pager and flashlights - dogs are a good deterrant - all he had to do was yell and the dogs went bonkers and the guys skeddadled pretty fast |

WTF is with Americans and chicken, srsly??? I have lost all faith in the masses despite what the last Batman movie said.
The theory is that as property values rise, petty theft increases . . . is this the case in Houston as well? I've never known CBRs to be particularly defensive but they have their instincts. My German pointer had a stranger-danger bark that scared the shit out of me. He refused to take food from anyone unless I touched it too and he'd block me off from men on walks. I ask you, if you have that, why would you ever ever need a man??? I don't remember watching many westerns, but I did get made fun of as a kid for saying ain't, reckon and hightailed. Meh, I think it came down to the gangster genre versus westerns and the former won bigtime. |

CBRs were supposedly bred firstly to retrieve waterfowl and secondly to guard their master's catch. My first one only ever barked at two people and
I've always wondered what was wrong with them. I have three now and they're all very protective, especially the oldest female.
Houston, like most big cities, has a sizeable number of people who've never worked in their lives and who rotate in and out of jail/prison most of their lives. And it's a really young city, so there's lots of kids looking for something to amuse themselves. Property values here didn't do the extreme boom thing that most cities did, though, so we haven't had as big a bust |

I've always thought if I were to live in Texas it would be in Houston. And I'd go around calling it Hoostin like General Zod in Superman II.
Real estate is an obsession in Vancouver and people are under mass delusions. Everyone's banking on the Olympics and many are still playing the buy and flip game except now they're sitting on their investments since no one's buying. A major section of the downtown area has like an 80% vacancy because of this. Grrrrrrrrrrr. . . I HATE SPECULATORS. They are the duplicitous carpetbaggers of this century and I cannot wait for them to go down, though they will take many innocent families with them. Then we'll see if Canadians are desperate enough to kill each other over cheap poutine . . . |
