Plus, up in the Texas Panhandle, the heat is very dry, which makes it more bearable. The nights in the Panhandle are beautiful and cooler, which is a blessing. I lived in Amarillo (where I first started listening to Rush, on one of his charter stations KGNC, in 1988) and loved it. Very Republican/Conservative. Also lived in Lubbock, which is warmer in winter and has Texas Tech University (for better or worse--spoken by a true alum--1986). I'm currently in Dallas area. It's okay, but if I didn't have to live with my husband, I wouldn't chose to be here.

Of all the places I've lived, Oklahoma was the best. It's conservative and beautiful and the people are some of the nicest I've ever met. Yes, they have state income taxes, but they aren't that bad. Tulsa is a wonderful city!

You guys are tempting me with Oklahoma...if only I were younger.

My oldest son is a 1984 Tech graduate -- Mechanical Engineering. It was a good school for him. I remember at his graduation, however, the campus book store was selling T-shirts emblazoned with "Happiness is Lubbock in my Rear View Mirror!" He lives in Overland Park, Kansas now, and I noticed that the home page on his computer is the Texas Tech basketball page with games running in real time! He seems to keep in touch!
