Hey Texans. Fill me in on your state please. I'm getting ready for a career change and want to move away from Missouri and have been kicking around TX. Is there fire ants and such all over the place? Is there open land that anyone can access? Is there a lot of private land? I'm looking as far south as the Killeen area, north and west if need be. Is it called the Hill Country? Don't want to be to close to the coast or in a city. Pretty vague though hey.

Texas has it all, hill country, flat country (and lots of it), desert (west), forest(east), we got the second biggest canyon, yeah there's fire ants, there's allot of private land, allot of deer (4million most in the nation), we got allot of national forests and parks n' stuff, I dunno about open land is that like land that nobody owns? that anybody can use? I dunno about tha. and there's plenty of space you could live that's not near the coast or a city, it's all over the place.
it's close to heaven as you can get.

I don't think there is anywhere in Texas were you can walk through the grass barefoot. After a couple of bites you learn and then fire ants aren't a problem. South or West of Dallas/Ft Worth is a nice area. Open areas but still close enough to the big city. There is no other state where the citizens have pride in their state like Texas.

Now don't get me wrong I ain't against Texas it just can't live up to all the hype, (NOTHING could live up to all that hype). If I totally hated it I wouldn't have been here for the last 23 years. The reasons I came here are still valid; there is plenty of land and horses, and men actually ride horses down here. And best of all, a grown man can dress like Roy Rogers and not turn a head. 'Course that bit about men riding horses - in other parts of the country seven women ride for every one man - talk about not knowing when your well off!

1984 F250 ...Never heard of the guy could just be a poser. If he was on the Apalachian? sp Trail he was sure lost.
The weather sure changes fast here, it was 61 degrees today, 6 days ago it was bitter cold.
We have wide open spaces up here and plenty of jobs available if you want to work in the oil field. Unemployment is less than 1%. You gotta be able to pass a drug test though. Oh, and we vote Republican, too. The most Republican county in the nation. Go Bush!!!!

I second that.
The weather here changes fast alright. It snowed here in Munday the 22 but has since melted away. It was nice to have a white Christmas.
Too bad personal events made it the sadest time of my life.
