I have lived here most of my life, and I still don’t understand. Why do pseudo-religious nuts like Koresh and Bush want to have their compounds a few miles from Waco? We don’t deserve that kind of treatment.
Waco, contrary to public perception, is very tolerant of kooks and weirdos. That is why I like it here. Maybe that is why other kooks and weirdos like it here. Maybe we are creating our own spiritual sink hole just by accretion of critical mass.
And I only live about 100 miles south of you in the tolerant city of Austin.
Of course the last time I went through that town (three nights ago) one of my significant others was driving, we had been on the road for 4 very long days and she was driving like a bat out of hell so I was concentrating on not noticing that she was pushing 100mph, so I didn't have much time for sightseeing. I think she had the heading for the barn mentality at the time.
6. My 9 1/2 yr. old Samoyed came from Waco...she has cost me over
$6K in medical expenses. Right now her medicines run over $200 a month, not counting vet visits! She is an extremely large female, but I think I've learned not to buy from Texas!
The scariest book I ever read was "Careless Whisper: Murder on Lake Waco". Was very creepy because I did a semester at McLennan Community College and could relate with some of the people and events surrounding it. Very creepy.
