>> And they’re big scorpions! About the size of a rabbit!
...not counting the tail. The tail alone is as big as a rattlesnake from most other places (of course Texas rattlesnakes are as big as anacondas).
And as gitmogrunt so aptly put it, TEXAS SUMMERS SUCK!!! Frankly, four out of five new residents don’t survive their first brutal summer. It can be heartbreaking to new pioneer families but it does keep the population in check.
Y’all yankees want to think three times about moving to Texas.
[But seriously we welcome conservative hard-working NON-union LEGAL emigres from points north! I was kidding, a few actually DO survive their first summer. :-)]

I echo that sentiment, NT. My Aunt moved here 2 years ago from VT. (Sadly, she does not meet the criteria you mentioned but that's another story.) My Dad told her we handle Texas summers the way she handled VT winters. Stay inside and avoid the heat, not unlike staying inside to avoid the cold.
I’m from VA, no Yankee here. My husband is from TX and I am like Ruth wherever he goes so will I. So if he goes home to TX I will go too.
Believe you me though I am praying he won’t.
