.......Y'ALL COME.......











you'll be able to wear one of those t-shirts if you move here.


I was reading the DAM 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 one? 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.
So what more could you ask for..Plus, Jackie is right down the road...oh, by the way...right down the road is anywhere from 3 miles to 580.
"Cost is overwhelmingly the No.1 driver," said Albert Niemi Jr., dean of the business school at SMU, who wrote his doctoral thesis 30 years ago abut companies leaving the Northeast for the Sun Belt. The cities that have the most headquarters are



Houston----25
Dallas---12
San Antonio---5
Fort Worth---4
Irving---4
Austin/Round Rock---2
El Paso---1
Grapevine---1
Pittsburgh---1
The Woodlands---1
Some of the Fortune 500 that are headquartered here are:
Exxon Mobil(who woulda thunk it) ConocoPhillips, At&T, Valero Energy, Dell, Marathon Oil, Sysco, Enterprise GP Holdings, J.C. Penny,Kimberly-Clark, Halliburton(no surprise there, thanks to Bush and his bidness buddies),Texas Instruments, Whole Foods Market, Blockbuster, and Clear Channel Communications.
Just a few..The jobs are here and according to the other article...so are the men...Dallas has the 4th-largest surplus of unmarried men. North Texas has 46,300 more single men than single women..Those are some pretty good odds, but the LA, Long Beach and Santa Ana area is even better with 89,000 more single men than women. N.Y., and Northern New Jersey has 211,000 more single women than men. Maybe it's cause they keep getting whacked by the mob?
What I'm trying to say here folks...is that we have the jobs, we have the men and lots of cheap housing, thanks to the mortgage slump. Maybe you can get one of the single guys to help you move into your new house, after you get a new job..There are lots of pluses too....the sun sets, the sun rises, the friendly people, the blue bonnets, and the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream.
You have desert, mountains, hills, beaches, swamps, forests, and red necks out the ass..Ok, that's not a plus...So, pack up your old kit back and come down and see us..ya hea'?
