I hear that!
Speaking of "good states", I've just got to say that y'all don't want to move to Texas. It's got blistering heat in the Summer, and icicles in the Winter. Fall is like ten minutes long and all the leaves fall off the trees. Spring is gorgeous, but like Fall, it only lasts for about ten minutes.
Folks down here are ornery, and they talk funny. Everyone drives pick-up trucks with gun racks in the back window, and they ain't opposed to pulling that shotgun out on any outsider who doesn't understand how things are done down here.
The bugs are bigger than cats, and there's fifteen different kinds of snakes all over the place. They've got that weird armadillo thing here, too.
Oh yeah.... all the food has jalapeno peppers in it. Don't come. Stay put, or move somewhere else, if you know what's good for you!
