When people say "landlocked" I tend to think of over-developed and not land with no water to be found. Just clarifying that one.

I find south Florida to be much slower paced than where I live outside NYC. It's because of all the old people I guess.

SAT scores are higher in Texas than NY. Also we have a higher graduation rate...

Really? I didn't know that. That's interesting.

Yup... Texas also has much better public Universities.

Do you think I was going to go to a SUNY school when I could go to a much higher level school like TAMU

The stereotype of Texas being dumb is quite funny indeed (fortunately only a few feel that way and the hate for Texas is more of a Bush backlash than anything else)
