All that's left is "soft" paper (mostly toilet paper) – so I guess it stinks a whole let less around there now.
I didn't know they had paper mills in Texas.

The one in Lufkin makes newsprint but I was actually thinking of a Georgia Pacific paper mill that I toured years ago.
In terms of smells, here are the top icky smells from worst to best:
Paper Mill
Sewer plant
Oil & cattle together
Feed lot
Oil field
Chocolate plant (Mars/Hershey)
Yogurt factory
Though oil field would go on the bottom of my list because that smell gets in your blood.
I am not sure there isn't an industry Texas doesn’t have.
You have to keep in mind, Marty lives in the plains/panhandle area, I live in the desert, mom lives on the coast, my great-grandmother lived in the forest, my kids live in the metropolitan area with all kinds of lakes, my cousins (some of them) live in central Texas that has rolling hills. Now the desert does take up almost half of Texas.
We have a varied climate except when MartyTX decides my mother needs his fall.
