BTW Midland is now at about 151,000.
Wow. It's grown even more than I thought.

But my cousins that still live there say that "Everybody in the world is moving to Texas--and the traffic here has gotten unbearable."

"Is it really that bad in just 7 years..?"

"Yes. It's that bad."

*Sigh*

You get used to no traffic, lines, crowds and noise very quickly out here in the backwaters.

I do not know what it is about Midland that makes it so hot and dry. I think it's just about the hottest place I've ever lived.

I drove down to the Midland area in July four or five years ago to pick up some farm equipment out in a rural area and I agree. I only stayed long enough to get my trailer loaded but I distinctly recall how good my truck's AC felt.
