You know Novo everything runs in cycles and patterns, although it might be a little depressing going out of state and seeing how beautiful it is elsewhere it's always going to be greener on the other side of the hill, in this case literally. Every state has it's challenges to overcome. Up north it's so cold and snowy in the winter I would just dream what it would be like to just pack up and move south for the entire winter. But we get over it. You guys will get over this too. The worst of it seems to be isolated to your state so the corn belt isn't affected.
It's amazing how little you can live on when you really have too. Hang in there and remember you live in the greatest country on the planet. Texans are tough people you'll make it out of this in one piece.
