It can be a good thing.... And by the way, where is Tonto?

Why? ...just curious. I didn't say "north", so does that make a difference?

Not sure I get your point. However, I could tell that to my daughter (native Texan) and her husband (native Canadian) and see what kind of reaction I get. I suspect it won't be the one that you're expecting me to.

Hi all. I never received a note that there were replies to my posting until this morning. It is like three months later. I am in California. Living near San Francisco and loving every single second. I'm sure the realities will set in later, but for now we are happy. We are renting a wonderful home outside of San Fran. Only been in California a few weeks, so stay tuned. Luckily, my husband has a great new job and we will enjoy the ride as long as it last. My experiences in Texas with racism were real. I assumed an anglo last name and do not look very ethnic. People did not ever hold back. We will see what happens in California.

I will say that when it comes time to retire, or if we ever move back to Texas, Austin is where we want to live.
Bascially, where I live reminds me of Austin -- the best city in Texas.
