My daughter Zee lives in a new housing development where the homes are expensive, made of slabs of stone from a quarry north of San Antonio. For such a pricey neighborhood, I am surprised there are no sidewalks, no leash law, and no decent phone service. For all the bitching I've done about AT&T, here AT&T is banned, in lieu of Verizon.
Verizon service sucks. You have to stand next to a window to pick up a phone signal, and there is no Internet service available! We finally had to settle for some kind of cigarette pack sized box that plugs in near a window to pick up WiFi signals to use a computer.
 Deer and turkey roam over this neighborhood. Deer come up in thier backyard to eat acorns from the blackjack oaks. This neighborhood is built on land that was a Spanish land grant from the earliest Spaniards who claimed the land--or raher took the land from the native Indians, the Payaya . (Pa-ya-Ya).
For the past 100 years,the land was in a family, whose patriarch swore never to sell it. But when he died, his children squabbled over what he had thought was an ironclad will, and contested it. It went all the way to te Texas Supreme Court who ruled that the land could be sold--ergo, now homes are built here.love from susil. got to go before I get kicked off this horrible system.
