[Stoat]

Sorry to bend your ear but you seem to be an addition that conservative west Texans could welcome.

No apologies necessary; I appreciate your insights very much and am now convinced that I MUST at least visit Lubbock one day, as well as other parts of Texas.  It's I who must apologize for the long delay in my reply....I wanted you to know that the time you spent typing your gracious and informative post was not wasted  :-)

One of several posts in another thread which may bring a smile:

I was standing on a street corner in Ft. Worth once when a guy behind me made a wolf whistle at a really attractive woman across the street. Being from the north, I was scared that she would think that I did it and make some nasty remark. Instead when we were crossing the street she looked at him and said "Thank you, Sugar". God Blessed Texas.

`Visionary' plan would put `a roof over every bed in King County' by 2014 (Seattle hasn't learned)

"sigh" just being around SANE people, and particularly Ladies who don't always have a huge militant-feminist chip on their shoulder would be SUCH a Blessing  "sigh"

Dear Stoat,

Texas has the most beautiful and gracious women in the world. I should know as I married one 32 years ago. Take care and best of luck.
