News:

Recently retired from working in the greater Houston area & moved back to SE Texas on the high East bank of the Trinity River in far far NE of semi rural Liberty County close to Lake Livingston on the edge of The Piney Woods & what is left of The Big Thicket. Timber companies are clear cutting the thicket & planting pine trees in rows just like corn. Sad to see from my point of view.
