From Waco to Austin

We all have heard of the religious fringe in Texas (Warren Jeffs/David Koresh), the political mindbenders (Perot, Perry), and the celebrity oddballs (Willie Nelson, Mickey Gilley). But did you know about the Pod People?

While driving down the freeway I started seeing these peculiar houses (?)--first a few and then a whole subdivision (or would you call it a 'Podivision'?)

I simply had to see more so I did a u-turn and drove through. These podlike structures were all occupied and most with no windows and all were starkly landscaped. Some had connecting garages (to hold the spaceships?). I did see a humanlike figure off in the distance and thought to go ask what this was all about. However, I decided I might get whisked away by aliens so I turned tail and got out of there.
