At this point, Texas is just Florida with impractical boots and hats. I'm not sure what you were expecting. Go walk around NY or DC or something.

I did, as a matter of fact, walk around NY and DC, around 15 years ago. Coincidentally, I have also been to (central) Florida. All of these were work trips, with a bit of vacation here and there.

So yeah, I get your point, in DC and NY people do walk and use public transport, elsewhere, it seemed similar, except Texas was bigger (even for walking). But I have that in Prague too.

I don't think the point of these articles is to dis on anyone, but really, point out collective procrastination we have towards climate change.

Even that breaks down in different parts of Texas. Go to Austin and see what you think.

Depends on where you are in Texas. The boots and hats aren't impractical everywhere.

Also the boots are freakin' comfortable.
