Oh, great....we live in Oregon....and NO, not in Portlandia. We were in Texas over the holidays...visited Hill Country which seems nice, but the southern part of the state, shall we say, is heading toward Mexicoville? (We were in San Antonio). May try spending a month in the Hill Country some time...but moving there seems unlikely. When the water runs out, there’s going to be REAL problems.
My daughter lives in OR, Corvallis it is so beautiful and most of the people are very friendly. It seems that property rights are eroding quickly there; can’t collect rainwater or target practice on your own land (or so I hear).

I have close friends in the Hill Country and that area is semi-arid, has been since modern folks have lived there. My friends have a tall large water container (like a city does but smaller of course) and a well that keeps that container filled just in case it doesn’t rain for a long time. The Hill Country is the start of south west Texas and the popuation is less in west Texas. Our more independent souls live in west Texas.
