Lots of my friends here are red-state voters who come from coastal blue states. They sort of can't figure out why I want our next duty station to be Texas. Lo and behold, Vinod says it better than I could. A blog post in praise of Texas that includes references to 1) Lila and 2) groking: could it get any cooler than that?
Posted by Sarah at December 3, 2004 12:24 PMTexas IS the promised land and we are even tolerant of foreigners. Unfortunantly, it has been my experience that when you WANT to go somewhere Uncle Sugar sends you someplace else entirely...like the freakin' wasteland of New England...Good luck with that:}

I loved the linked article; says what I've long thought about Texas.

The state tourism board ran a campaign with the slogan "Texas: It's like a whole other country", I think that sums up the way a lot of us feel. In a good way.
