“Besides, my wife and I *prefer* the cold weather.”
Yeah, this summer of record heat and little rain made it seem sorta *3rd world*.
We have friends that live out close to Mille lacs and my Wife works for 3M here in Austin.
Funny, many of the Northerners who I know from 3M say they'll never move back because of their hate for shoveling snow.
I won't try and change ya’ll minds. We have enough of a crowd trying to move here.
Please do visit again though.

I walked to work this past winter on the coldest day of the year, -22
o F. Just to get bragging rights for the grandkids ("...when I was your age" and all that.)
Cheers!

I hate to ask -- but Austin, TX (State Capital, Dell Computers) or Austin, MN (of Hormel fame)?
Cheers!

Sorry for the confusion...please allow me to explain.
And you mentioned people from 3M, and I didn't know they had facilities in Texas...so I got confused.
My apologies.
