Come on over, friend. Texas is where it’s at!!! Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Amarillo, etc. are all doing very well compared to the rest of the USA. Yes, it’s hot and sticky in the summers, but free enterprise and private business are alive and thriving in the Lone Star state. Bring your talent, your skill, your hard work and help make us stronger every day!!!

And you fine folk are a large part of why am looking forward to my move.

The time I spent in TX was always great because of the people there. Stereotypes of Texans being insular are just wrong — they are the warmest and most helpful and welcoming people I have had the pleasure to be with.

And that Texas stubbornness is a joy to behold. I am sure it comes as no surprise to you that in Texas I saw my first “home made offramp” from the highway when there was an accident blocking traffic. A bunch of trucks just pulled off and made a ramp across the berm to the frontage road, followed by many.

In Texas, Democrats and Republicans in the state legislature were looking at doing some of the same things California did with the online internet sales tax crap and wanting to mix it up with Amazon, probably due to Wal-Mart and Target and other retailers lobbying them. Amazon closed a large warehouse in Texas over the issue. There is a lot going on right now. Wal-Mart, Target, and others are threatened, and they dumping a lot of lobbying money into this.
