Texas is so big, it makes it hard for people to get together. And it's not easy for people from other states sometimes to grasp how damn big this lone star state is LOL. I've had to deal with that many times in my jobs, when out of towners don't realize that it can take 2 or 3 hours to get across Houston. Let alone major city to another major city.....
Mom and I have to travel between stores a lot for our work. From southeast Houston to the SW suburbs, sometimes all in the same day. One time it'll take 30 minutes from gulf freeway to south main or Bellaire, next time it's an hour. And this is on the surface streets, no freeway driving. Freeways are too crazy here, between construction and stupid drivers.
Yes doing service calls all over Houston I agree
