I hope someone has gone and done a check sometime in the last 40 years... just to see if it's still there.
>>would be better off WHISTLING IN THE GRAVE YARD.<<
I prefer...Whistling Dixie.

Unfortunately, these Washington politicians are more interested in feathering their own nests, that taking care of the people that voted them in. Most of them, whether republicans or democrats have a “FOR SALE” sign tattooed on their backs. They truly believe in the old adage that “THEM THAT GOTS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES”, a bastardisation of the “GOLDEN RULE”.
What if the golds no longer there?After all Germanys gold is missing.
What a bunch of parasites!
I want to move to Texas when hubby is eligible for retirement at his job, maybe next year. If anyone has any suggestions as to where we should be looking for a place, I’d be grateful. We’re planning on a fact-finding trip there in the fall.

I still believe I may see secession in my lifetime. So this all makes sense,
Thanks for the helpful list.
As far as Austin is concerned - thanks but no thanks! Too liberal.
I currently live in AZ, which is okay for right now, but it will be one of the first states that liberal Californians will run to if the drought over there gets worse, as they say it will.
I currently live in the Phoenix area, so I’m used to heat, but humidity is another thing.
I’d like to live within an hour’s drive of a big city, but in a more rural setting. My business needs good internet access and supplies.
We were thinking of looking at the towns and small cities near Dallas/Ft Worth.
The DFW region has a lot to offer. An hour or so drive can get you into the rural settings.
This area will get you into the Piney Woods / Prairie Lakes regions. You axed the Austin
area but it’s much different than most think when you get outside of the metro area,
beautiful Hill County, etc.
Take some time and explore the various regions of Texas. Each has it’s own uniqueness.
BIG BEND COUNTRY
GULF COAST
PINEY WOODS
PRAIRIE & LAKES
HILL COUNTRY
SOUTH TEXAS PLAINS
PANHANDLE PLAINS
How about number 23 San Antonio, Tx?
We’re not talking about Fort Knox. It;s been the belief by a lot of people, that our 3rd division in Ft Knox is guarding an empty “SAFE”. This is the gold in the New York gold reserve. However, you may be right, just maybe that gold isn’t there any more either.
