Why do people keep moving to Texas? Like the much-hated here Gen. Sherman said,
"If I owned both hell and Texas, I'd sell Texas and live in hell."
I know I'm going to get some flack about that, but my late wife was from
Brookshire, Texas, and I've been there many, many times. Place is way too flat.
I'm a Tennessee hillbilly. Got to have some up and down terrain that ain't
constantly 100 F. in the summertime. :-)
