I was reading the DA
M News and found several articles that I think all of you should hear about...First one was about the fact that Texas passed N.Y. as home to the most big companies.

The Lone Star State is at the top of the 'heap'...Texas now has 58 head-quarters, three more than New York, the previous No.1 California has 52. Why are we number o
ne? Low taxes, affordable land and large workforce.(si)..Land...oh man..we have lots and lots of land. We have no state taxes and plenty of cheap labor thanks to the over abundance of Hispanic aliens. So you can get a good job, low prices for a house, a good looking 
Texan, and someone to mow your lawn at affordable prices.

I lived in Dallas for a minute. By the time the moving truck got there I met them at the end of the driveway & told them to turn around and don't look back! Did you know Dallas has the 4th largest gay population in America?! It's true! Us gays love lots of cheap land with cheap labour to mow the lawns...well we love love cheap labour anyway!
Regulations out the wazoo is the reason companies are fleeing California. If there is a regulation any of our legislators can dream up, they pass it. They have no concept of the real world.
I'd move there in a second! Love the West.
When G.W. Bush leaves office at least he will have no trouble finding a job with all those oil companies around, or he could get a job mowing lawns!
i don't suppose you could find some of those available cowboys to audition for me, JS?
I'd prefer that they wore only their cowboy boots, hat and chaps when they pose for the picture you're going to take. You know - the picture that convinces me to pack up and head to West, Texas.
You don't have to worry about aWol hanging around Texas, rumor has it that the Bushs have bought a huge ranch in Paraguay and our military has bought a chunk of land next to it for some security thing. Hey if it was good enough for the Nazis, it should be good enough for aWol. It may be wishful thinking, but I know aWol won't be doing a lot of travel in other countries for fear of getting arrested for war crimes.
Next time I go to Texas to visit relatives, I'm gonna get one of those shirts.
'cuz even though I haven't lived there in over 30 years....I'm STILL from Texas! ;-)
So as boy said Dallas has a big Gay community, and so do the other cities you mentioned with a lot of single men. Might be the reason...I am thinking Texas isnt too close to having legalized Gay marriage. As soon as they do the single men ratio might change.
I don't care about the single guys - gay or straight.
I do like the cheaper housing.
I do like sunsets.
I do like knowing that Aunt Grandma Jackie would make daycare obsolete! Screw the Dollar Store. You'd have some Buddha love!
Man alive, you've got me almost talked into my next geographical except that I despise corporations. I do love Texas BBQ more than anything else. And the wide open spaces call to me. Course my Grandpa was born in Texas, as was my sister (Fort Worth). What about those tornados though?
I want Dan from Hollywoods blog address as well!
I would love to come to Texas. But do you still got that no cooking live lobster thing? I love lobster!
I spent a summer squatting in an abandoned building in Austin...cheapest rent I ever had.
Guess I'll have to tell my daughter to get one of those shirts. She's so far east in the state she might as well be in Louisiana, but she is on the west side of the Sabine River.
Is it for sale?
