Late to the party, there is a VA hosp. in Temple, along with the Army Hosp. on Ft. Hood. You'd be close enough to use the commisary, and if you use the pharmacy at Ft. Hood it will make any prescriptions free if they are formulary or generic. Also have heard good things about the Base hosp. We have a minor league bassball team in Round Rock that is the AAA team for the Texas Rangers. Pretty nice little ballpark and reasonable to take the family to. Lots to see and do in the area, greatest people around. Where's the beer! | |||

^^ hahaha I'm not worried about Chigurh, I carry a gun. ----- Mrs. Mike is waiting for the official job qualification and offer. I found her looking for schools (The Tomminator is 9 and in 3rd grade) I've been on Zillow, and it seems like a same size home (4br/3bath) is about 50K more in Texas...but it seems like the location is the driving thing. I want a 3bdr/2bath and more land where I can shoot..(can you do that there is you have a safe place??)

True, the traffic problems are compounded by the construction on I-35. Maybe some day it will be finished, but it has been continuously under construction since I moved to Texas. That was in July 1971. But it could be worse. I-45 in Houston has been under construction since 1949.

I'll pitch in, too. I live 25 miles from Temple and 25 miles from Waco and frequent both...well, frequently! I'll answer your questions below in blue: Specifically: Can I bring my suppressed weapons? Yup! You will also be close to Capitol Armory and Silencer Shop in Austin. I've purchased cans from both and they are a pleasure to do business with! Any kind of restrictions on guns? None that I am aware of in Temple. However, my memory is faint...but I remember a poorly handled open carry case in the recent history. I'll try to find a link. Anywhere to shoot nearby? Plenty of places. I'm a member at a private gun range north of Waco but ranges are plentiful as well as private land to shoot on. What else do I need to know? I've been told that Bell County has retarded property taxes. Might look into that. Or ask? There are some areas in Temple that I won't do more than drive through...but that is in any city/town. I would also echo the concern about schools for your 9 year old. Choose your residence carefully so you are in a good school. If you can live outside of Temple proper, you will probably find better educational opportunities. Lots of little towns around...I live in one...that offer good schools and close commute to Temple. If I can be of more help, please email me! | |||

So Mrs. Mike and I have been here in Texas for two days. Very nice. Met with a realtor and a contractor. When the contractor heard we were moving from NC he reached out his hand and said, "Welcome to Texas"! I think in I'm gonna like it here.

Welcome to Texas. Once you get settled...and if you have any interest...I'd be glad to take you guys to lunch in Temple. | |||

Will do, we fly back to NC Saturday, then get our home ready for market and plan on moving after the school year ends-"The Tomminator" finishes classes in the second week of June. Fingers are crossed to make a smooth sale and move.... "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

We will move around late June and go into temporary housing. i imagine I will need long term (temporary) housing for our K9 until the house is built..anyone got any ideas?

Is there a foster network for rescue pets in the area? Might be able to utilize that in return for a donation to help their cause. God, Guns, and Guts made this country....let's keep all three | |||

The best news in all of this is you will be close to College Station the real jewel in Central Texas. You can enjoy real college football there with the Fighting Texas Aggies. The largest conservative student body left. Full of great kids who will make Texas proud for the next several generations. Be sure to visit the Corps Center there and check out the gun collection there on campus. They have SN 1 Colt Patterson there. Lots of Corps history, a listing of flag officers, WW1 & WW2 era exhibits. On your way in or out stop in Snook for some sausage and Kolaches ! HK Ag | |||

Welcome! "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

The user can do that themselves. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Welcome. It will be talked about a lot in the upcoming months. Forecast for this summer is it will extremely hot. More so than just our normal hot Don't let it get you down. AC is everywhere and just limit your outdoor chores to early and late in the day. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||
