Last night we had the opportunity to meet a native Texan in town for a tour of
COLLISION, Jeff Abbott. Fresh from a week in London and still jet-lagged, Jeff
regaled us with his exploits of researching a book with his mom in Frisco. Now,
Frisco is across the road from where I live and my closest shopping area, so
finding out that we were the backdrop for an international thriller was a bit,
well, 'thrilling.' Although, if he got it wrong, even a bit of the streets or
neighborhoods or prarie, it would throw me out of my reading. Sorry, but that
happens to me and it's annoying especially since if the book was going along so
well. And they picked a road under construction. Of course, right now, that
could be true since they are busy building TWO toll roads in Frisco. The only
city in North Texas where BOTH of the primary arteries costs 25 cents a mile to
traverse! It's outrageous! you pay for the bonds and taxes and then they charge
you for usage as well! They may not say they raise taxes but they'll enjoy
quarter and dollaring you with fees to death! Ah Frisco....
