Fred & Joe,
Having did a lot of traveling in my past I would rather live in this country than any of the ones that I was in. I have been in Texas a few times and I would like the idea of being able to live close enough to a town to get whatever I need yet have a lot of privacy and land, if I could afford it. I would like to own enough to put in my own private road race track. Also the climate in Texas, while not perfect is better than in many places I have lived or been. That being said, I like the
biggest state so
Alaska is high on the list.
