I lived in Texas for four years while in the AF. It was no more aggravating than living anywhere else. There were amusing bits, too, when you'd get the Texas "attitude" going with someone. Most everyone that i met there was more than willing to give and take with a "damnyankee" all in good fun.
I love California, too. Never had a bad visit there.
I didn't know that the SCOTUS had ruled Texans to be human, though. I'm thinking Nobby, right now...
