Default 10 things I learned on my trip to Texas

I recently completed my 5th naval vacation, this time, to see the USS Texas and the USS Cavalla; This is what I learned:

1. Despite what I had "heard" crime is not a problem in Houston (see old post), but the weather is.
2. Texans are warm fuzzies. (aka see any member of ZZ Top) [note: this is not zed zed Top]
3. Do not play in flood water, it has fire ants and reptiles.
4. Drebbel is a hooligan. I re-enacted the Drebbel Incident.
5. The Cavalla's dive alarm is really freekin' loud.:p The Cavalla is still water-tight. (see weather report for June 19th)
6. If Drebbel and I were to ever meet, chaos would insue.:hmm:
7. I need to meet Drebbel.
8. Even though the USS Texas was (is) totally cool. It is a total death trap. (See USS Oklahoma or Arizona).
9. Texas has the dumbest McDonalds drive up workers.
10. Neal's SUV has a periscope, torpedo tubes, and can dive to 450 feet. (actual depth is classified. )
