OK, you guys have some little mountains. Happy?

Yeah, California mountains make Texas mountains look like little boy mountains.

[SlowwHand]

Compared to California, but not compared to 90% of the states.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

States with bigger mountains:

Alaska Mt. McKinley 20,320
Arizona Humphreys Peak 12,633
California Mt. Whitney 14,494
Colorado Mt. Elbert 14,433
Hawaii Mauna Kea 13,796
Idaho Borah Peak 12,662
Montana Granite Peak 12,799
Nevada Boundary Peak 13,140
New Mexico Wheeler Peak 13,161
Oregon Mt. Hood 11,239
Utah Kings Peak 13,528
Washington Mt. Rainier 14,410
Wyoming Gannett Peak 13,804


13 out of 50 have taller peaks. 26% of the states have taller stature than Texas.

Texas has mountain envy.

[Tiamat]

Oh yes here we go my mountain's bigger then your's! Funny how grown men never get out of gym class

Sloww's right our's are bigger, haven't you heard the commercial? Everything's bigger in Texas.

Texas is a red state, nuff said.

It's a good thing I don't talk politics or this would be the death of me.

So long as no one listens in on my phone calls to my mom, I should be fine. They need a warent for that anyways, right?


Sloww and Tiamat, I talked to the guy and he said Irving or Grand Prairie area. So what's good out there?

Yeah, I moved to a red state. Really it's not that bad if you can tolerate different views. You might get home sick though. I desire to be around people who agree with you more often.

[SlowwHand]

Maybe in Las Colinas area. That's the north part of Irving..

Is the job in the Irving/Grand Prairie area? Evidently?

...Except that he never said that. That was the modified shortened sound bite version that a 'reporter' created. The actual quote is
"War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it."

[SlowwHand]

Hi, Lefty. And thank you for pointing out that now they can say that Texas is cruelty and cannot be refined.

REALLY appreciate it.

I GOT IT!!!!

I got the position. We need to get the relocation expenses out of the way and then I'll be moving down there.

That's it. I('m leaving the only place I've ever lived. I'm leaving my friends and family. I'm leaving my comfortable surroundings and culture (Detroit has culture, we just don't tell others about it).

I'm not in the least bit scared.
