Minnesota: Had to walk to school for 5 miles through 4 feet of snow, uphill both ways, carrying a cello. But I never complained because my kid brother played the piano.

Texas: I had to walk to school for 5 miles of cactus and rattlesnakes barefoot, uphill both ways, carrying a cello. But I never complained because my kid brother played the piano.

A war of Minnesota versus Texas would be like the winter war of Finland versus Russia.
One would have numerical superiority, the other would have brains.


I think the quote should be somthing like this...

Let's see, 800 miles of coastline, thousands of miles of rivers, hundreds of lake and we can't find fishing?

In Texas, we can fish in the dead middle of winter in shorts, without building a shack on the lake and digging a hole through three feet of ice to catch fish that couldn't break a 4 pound test line. Gee, almost makes me wish I lived in MN.

Yawn, this is just too easy.  When the dastardly Texans invade we'll just feed then some lutefisk and  they won't be able to get back home soon enough.

Actually, why does it have to be Texas?  If it came to it, there are probably about 48 other states I'd probably prefer to go up against.  Still, after one winter most of the Texans would probably go home, and after a school year in which their kids actually learned something, the remaining ones would probably realize that barbeque might, just might, not be the most important thing in life.

Um Dallas is surrounded by lakes you know. There's also creeks all over the damned place, though you'd be lucky to catch anything over 5 or 6 pounds.

El Paso, you are correct. Dallas on the other hand......

Major lakes within 10 miles of the IH 635 loop around Dallas:

Grapevine Lake-7,000 acres 8 miles from the loop.
Lake Lewisville-23,000 acres 10 miles from the loop.
White Rock Lake-1000 acres inside the loop.
Mountain Creek-2,700 acres 1 mile from the loop.
Joe Pool Lake-7,400 acres 2 miles from the loop.
Lake Ray Hubbard-23,000 acres 5 miles from the loop.
Lavon Lake-21,400 acres 10 miles from the loop.

I can see where someone from Dallas has no place to fish.

Cold weather keeps out the riff raff.

Not many people can claim to working outside in a 140 degree shift of temperature during the year.

You guys have waaaaaay better bass fishing tho and smaller bodied big antlered deer.  I will give you that.

Montana - You guys have all of the rich Californians buying up everything in sight and the wackos that cant figure out how to disappear into Alaska, so they hole up in Montana.
