Given the population of Texas is around 7.5M, it does seem reasonable that there would be a lot of Texans here.

The population of Vermont is ~.62M but we are still decently represented on BYH :)
Population of Texas is 26.96 million. Had to go look it up, last I looked, it was 20 million.

Well maybe we need to get some of those Green Mountain folks to move here, eh @Bruce?

I don't plan on getting divorced. My wife has never lived farther than 90 miles from where she grew up (Stowe) and that was when she was at Dartmouth. And she absolutely doesn't "do" heat.

oops, looks like I missed the '2' in my post. With Austin being approximately 2M, yeah, there would have to be a LOT more than 7.5M in the entire state. Heck, the Dallas metro area is 7M!

And I think every one of 'em around DFW has 3-4 cars and somehow, they are all on the road at once. Houston isn't much better but at least it's mostly pickup trucks and ya can see them.

I rarely see a car on my county road, but it's only a mile or two out to the main 4 lane highway. Even there, rarely any traffic till you get to town 6 miles away. I'm not TOO far away from society...

Used to be the case here as well, but as more and more folks moved in and more of them have found work near or in Houston, we see more and more traffic out in front of my place. Just one more reason for me to consider moving back to the rough country farther out west.

You're older than I am and your existing place is already basically where you want/need it to be for what you want to do. I'm beginning to have second thoughts about what I've done here as there's just so much that needs to be done to get it to where I want it. At least you have the advantage of years of experience... I don't have any of that either. :confused: I guess I'm on what you might call an "adventure"...
