The plus side is.....Texas has a rough kind of beauty in the west, and a lush kind of beauty in the east and things are pretty laid back if You're not in the Big Four (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio or Ft. Worth)....but the best thing is, yes, [most] people are friendly and will speak to You just for the hell of it. On the back country roads, on-coming drivers will wave as You pass by, and if You're on a 2-lane road and come up behind a slower car, they'll move over to let You pass.

Texas ~ in spite of our lame-ass governor ~ is a wonderful place. Come on down!
