Like you, I fled Los Angeles for Texas. It's a very different place.

You don't have to buy cowboy boots or ride a mechanical bull. You can if you want.

You can choose which power company to buy your electricity from and switch at any time. I go with the cheapest, although if you want to pay a lot more to a company with windmills, you can do that, too.

Take your time getting to know the state. Do visit Big Bend National Park. Later, head north and climb El Capitan, the highest mountain in the state. It's not terribly strenuous and the view is well worth it.

Go tubing down the Guadalupe River and visit the state shrine, the Alamo. You'll feel the ghosts of Crockett and Travis welcoming you to a state they sacrificed their lives to give to you.

Visit South Padre Island, where the beaches are nicer than in Southern California and the water much warmer. Explore historic Galveston, take a tour of Mission Control at NASA. Next month will be the peak of bluebonnet season here. Head to Luckenbach, Texas, and suck a cold one while listening to Waylon, Willie, and the boys. Visit the childhood home of LBJ the same day.

Welcome to a state where every statewide office is held by a Republican. That may take some getting used to, but it's the way we like it.

You're gonna like it here.

BTW, Dog Gone meant do Luckenbach and the LBJ home on the same day, not the whole agenda.

If only we could get them to start ACTING like Republicans...
