I can't imagine living anywhere else. Texas is my home. For many Texans, living here is a part of their being.
There are other good States. We traveled to Europe recently. When asked where we were from, we would say either Texas or Dallas, TX. We actually live north of downtown Dallas, but it makes things simpler. EVERYONE knows where Texas is. Everyone has an image of Texas in their mind. Most of the time it is from the TV series Dallas. We live just a few miles from South Fork. We pass by it on a regular basis. For many of us old Texans, we feel a responsibility to be good, polite, and respectful people because that is what Texans do. |

I haven't had ice cream or a shake from there in several years. Sometimes I get a bag of plain Jr burgers and slap a lot of veggies on them. No condiments. No fries or fountain drinks ever. The milk and eggs at Braum's are Tier One. |

You get rain, a lot more than Arizona. Yes that means potential flooding, but Id rather that then rely on the Colorado River that Fuck California has bogarted to hell and back. Even with record snowfall, Lakes Meade and Powell are struggling.
Crime, well compared to Phoenix its probably about equal. Id move to North East Texas in a heartbeat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought about getting a second home in Texas once. Then I realized that public land to shoot on is almost non-existent. And, because of no state income tax, the property taxes are unbelievably high. So, I decided to stay in Arizona.  Of course who needs public land to shoot on if you have private land to shoot on.
