DUKE, congrats on breaking from the mold. I’ve met dozens of people from Texas and other middle states and we hear from them on these boards all the time, yet I have rarely heard anything negative from someone actually from there. When in a conversation with someone telling me about how cheap it is, how the family values are better, they have seasons, schools are better, people are better, etc. I usually think but don’t say “then why are you here, you felt the need to keep to do your part and contribute to the traffic.” The premium is only worth it to those who take advantage of it and obviously you do. For me, after 40 years here, I can’t go anywhere else for more than a few weeks, it’s like going back to dial-up, I’m ruined.
