[quote=FlyerInHi]If those Republicans in TX, AK, Ok… are so wealthy, then WTF are they angry about? Go spend some of that money and enjoy.[/quote]They do. The fav winter vacation spots for families in that region are the Mexican Riveria and the Caribbean. Transportation is cheap from major TX airports. In the summers, they haul their cigarette boats, cabin cruisers and Ski Nautiques (loaded with water toys) into Lake Texoma and OK and northern Arkansas’ lakes to the same family cabins every year. Once unpacked and settled in, they slalom with the sunrise and continue to ski, explore and fish the rest of the day. Before dinner, they swim next to the boathouses, jumping off the decks, have a BBQ dinner with homemade ice cream cranked with rock salt, turn in and start all over at 5:00 am most mornings. It’s not uncommon for them to shoot off piles of fireworks on the weekends (it’s still legal there, AFAIK).
I spent 15 summers of my childhood doing this for 1-3 weeks every summer, where my uncle put on a fireworks show at least once per week and provided us kids lesser fireworks. We had a blast and the lake water feels like bath water!
