All Aboard the Texas Bullet Train (Maybe)
So, you're itching to know how long it'll take to zip from the land of cowboy hats to the city of oil, right? Well, buckle up, because this is a journey in itself.
The Dream of a Speedy Texan Commute
Imagine this: You wake up in Dallas, craving some Houston hotness. Instead of enduring the soul-sucking traffic, you hop on a sleek, futuristic train that promises to whisk you away in under 90 minutes. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's actually a project that's been chugging along for a while now.
The Reality Check
Now, let's bring it back to Earth. While the idea of a Dallas-Houston bullet train is as exciting as a free queso fountain, the reality is a bit less glamorous. Construction hasn't even started yet, and there are hurdles to jump over like a particularly stubborn longhorn.
So, how long will it actually take? Well, the optimistic answer is "less than 90 minutes." But the realistic answer is "who knows?" It's like asking a squirrel when winter will end – it's a gamble.
