NISSAN ROLLING INTO ROSENBERG


ROSENBERG (Houston Business Journal) – Nissan Motor Co. is set to become the first tenant at the 800-acre CenterPoint Intermodal Center–Houston metro hub.

Railroad operator Kansas City Southern (KCS) and Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) have agreed to establish a finished-vehicle distribution center at the 800-acre intermodal and automotive logistics park located 35 miles southwest of Houston.

The center will act as a regional automotive distribution center for Nissan in Texas.

The new facility will allow European-based WWL to provide Nissan vehicle distribution services in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma from a single site.

Completed in June, the park is a joint development project of Illinois-based CenterPoint Properties and KCS Railway Co.

TOYOTA HAULING IN HUNDREDS OF JOBS

SAN ANTONIO (San Antonio Express-News) – Toyota Motor Corp. has confirmed plans to move Tacoma pickup production from a plant in Northern California to its San Antonio manufacturing facility by next summer. The move is expected to add as many as 1,100 new jobs to the facility over time.

Toyota will stop making vehicles at the California plant in March.

San Antonio and Bexar County officials estimate the local Toyota plant — which currently builds only Tundras — will crank out 100,000 Tacomas annually following a $100 million retooling of the facility.

The Texas Baby Boy!
A Texan buys a round of drinks for all in the bar because, he announces, his wife has just produced "a typical Texas" baby boy weighing 25 pounds. Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "WOW!" were heard. One woman faints due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later, he returns to the bar.

The bartender says, "Say, you're the father of the typical Texas baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. How much does he weigh now?"

The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."

The bartender is puzzled, concerned, "Why? What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds at birth!"

The Texas father takes a slow swig from his long-neck Lone Star beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, "...had him circumcised."

Note: I stole this one from jan and the new LOL Lounge.

A very gentle Texas lady was driving across the Pecos High Bridge in Texas one day.
As she neared the middle of the bridge‚ she noticed a young man fixin' to jump (means 'getting ready to' in Texas ).
She stopped her car‚ rolled down the window and said‚ "Please don't jump!!!
Think of your dear mother and father!!!"

He replied‚ "Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

She said‚ "Well‚ think of your wife and children!!!"

He replied‚ "I'm not married and I don't have any kids."

She said‚ "Well‚ Remember the Alamo!!!"

He replied‚ ''What's the Alamo?''

She replied‚ ''Well‚ bless your heart‚ just go ahead and jump‚ you dumb Yankee!!!"
