I like Texas. I have been there everywhere it is on the top of my list to move to. I'm being selfish in a way to save on taxes in my plan. Honestly the place looks boring flat an monotonous but worth it. Not dissing it I have to look at the checks and balances and decided Texas is a worthy place to retire to. I have been all all over the world and then some. I think you live there and that is cool. I would like to too.

There are some unexpected cautions however. I discovered one. I expect there are others I cannot discern.


On my trip to Texas Instruments to the HQ they called the "Thunder Lab" I was astonished how people were welcoming and proud and greeting me all the time at random. One mentioned we made nuclear weapons here previously. I look down the hallway and like I cannot see where it ends and these are huge hallways. There are people in frames that used be presidents and CEOs around arranged on the wall on display. I thought this was too much and went out to back door outside and there is a stonehenge like concrete display of prominent engineers for the place all like praying to a purple star in the ground. And this was like on the corporate premises. And I could even walk around this probably seemingly sacred place and even step on the purple star in the center. This seems powerful. So I like Texas but not to step on it to shame it of course.

I rented a car once there and you guys have like lane dividers next to the stop lights that nearly blew a new tire. Must be a Michigan thing we don't have them here. Like how when we have a good snowstorm I observe everybody off the road is from Florida for some reason.
