>> In fact, it’s a wonder not everyone has moved to Texas.
When you consider how horrible life is here in Texas, I have great admiration for all of those outsiders, ESPECIALLY Californians, that didn’t jump at the chance to move here. They were the smart ones, my FRiend.
Can’t get a job... hotter than hell April - October... mosquitos the size of buzzards... and every plant that doesn’t die in the summer has three inch poisonous thorns.
And the people! Biggest bunch of hateful unfriendly bastards I ever met, anywhere. Especially out here in the country. And I have never been to a state that had uglier women.
Drinking water, what little there is of it, has the faint smell of gasoline from all the fracking chemicals. I think it’s why me and Mrs. Tick are sick all the time.
Spread the word... y’all that aren’t already here, stay where you are! You’ll thank me later.
LOL. You just don’t want those light-in-the-loafer eco-greenie types moving in as next door neighbors. First thing you know they’ll want to ban drilling, legalize pot and take away your guns!
I saw one fly away with a neighbors kid just the other day and it's not even spring yet.
And don't forget the bugs. Cockroaches as big as dogs and then the scorpions and snakes.
Not fit for humans here.

Hey NT, thanks for my first real laugh of the morning. I know exactly what you are saying. I turned down the “opportunity” to move to Texas way back in the ‘70s. My takeaway was that unless you were born there, or had lived there for twenty years or more, you were going to be “branded” as an outsider and shunned.
And their racial attitudes are neanderthal. When I asked the mayor of the town where I was to become a plant manager if the city’s public swimming pool was integrated he said; “Wy sho, course the nixxer’s don’t come ‘cause they know they ain’t welcome.” Also, liquor laws are from the Dark Ages and at the time the teachers were allowed by law to hit your kid.
If only they’d believe that.
Hey Nervous Tick! We here in Texas have a saying,
“Welcome to Texas! Now go home,”
Oil rises and it falls. We have been thru it all before and will fall again!
I live near Ft. Worth and vouch for all you said.
