Last year a company relocated to my part of North Texas from a liberal area of Florida. In came a bunch of obnoxious liberals to my town. At first, they stood out like a sore thumb. As time has passed, their manners have improved and they’ve become friendlier. We didn’t put up with their crap and told them what we expected in neighbors. They’re learning. (I haven’t had to kick anyone’s @ss yet.)
I spent a few months in Frisco back in the mid 80s. It was fine but it wasn’t home. I liked pretty much everyone I met but I missed the dense woods, swamps, and lakes a lot.
Texas was too open for me but I dated a girl from Oklahoma who said Michigan made her claustrophobic because she couldn’t see the horizon.
