Texas vehicles perpetrating Oklahoma?
Funny, I see a lot of OK plates down here in San Antonio.

Born and raised in Texas, then I left to Florida for college. I graduate in the spring and can't wait to come back.

It's Winter again and Chicagoan Snowbirds are visiting the center of the South.

Wow, I'm impressed. You have the plate memorized. I can't even tell you what's on my license plate. I have a Texas friend now living in GA. He said he can't believe how many Texas license plates he has been seeing for the last few years in the Atlanta area. I imagine they'll all return one day as I hope he will.

Those are vehicles belonging to Texans who play football for OU and OSU, which teams would not be recognized if it were not for Texas high school football recruits, and their parents and friends.

That seems like a pretty high percentage for this day and age....
I would guess that it is related with the low levels of higher education in Texas.

I'd say it is more along the lines of they DID get a college education and found that the best place to raise a family AND have a good job and be able to AFFORD a house of their own had a LOT more to do with the decision of living "close to home".

Oh God! I did not mean to say perpetrate. It is just that there is a ton of them down here. Wrong word, sorry.

I do love Texas, Texans, and everybody in between.

I must defend what you're saying about Texas and education. Check out this craigslist ad from the Portland, OR area. My friend lives in Washington right over the Oregon line and she's looking for a roommate. She said she sees these type of ads every day, so illiteracy is everywhere. She sends them to me so I can laugh and then cry because people are so terribly uneducated. I've removed the name and link to the ad.

Hey, you don't need to go to college to learn grammar. If you don't know it by high school or sooner, you'll never know it. This is frightful, and she's 35 years old.

Hello there Im hopn u can kinda see where I am comn from, thing is due to the fact I do not have a formal job nobody will rent to me and am about to b homeless... really wonderfull... since I have money in the bank and excellent rental history...
but I am unable to pay $660 for just a room in a house expectially since my main form ov income iz selling my Art Work, and people are not buying as much as they have n this past year.
Really I do understand people's concerns, but I am resourcefull, and do odd jobs from time to time, to help cover not selling as much Art Work.
So my pup n I will have to start couch surfing.
Unfortionally my friends whom I can stay w/ all have free roaming animals, and my pup needs to be the only free~roamer.
Just because times get hard, tough, or weird I am not gonna give her up.
Also we have an intense connection that many people are jealous of.
Also because of this intense connection she has proven to be my medical awareness animal, and I have the paperwork to prove it.
I'm a quiet person who is always busy.

Quiet Lezbo n pup
Hello Portland looking for a new place something chill, quiet, no other free~roaming animals, but my pup, can give u the first few months ov rent up front.
The area that I wish to live in iz anywhere really, within Portland Boarders, not the 200 block ov god knowz where, and close to public transportation.
Looking to move in sooner than later, once something is sound Ill give u a good chunk ov change, and my 30 day notice to current house mates.
Currently paying $560 to live in the West Hills, close to Psu campus, n honestly don't wanna pay $600 or more, tryn to find something cheaper, so I can b able to save.
Always selling me Art~World is a full time job, and I do well with it.
I'm not one ov those up tight Art people, I do Art Work because I enjoy it.
If u are unsure if your land lord will allow my pup, she is considered my medical awareness dog... n I have paperwork to prove it.
If u say that ur landlord will not allow an animal, it is illegal for land~lord to deny a service or medical animal, or to charge an expensive animal dep.
She is not a pet. A pet is there for your mild amusement, which u remember to feed at times, and pick up after sometimes.
She surves a purpose.
No special accomdiations need to b made, except the fact ov not eating my food.
Have excellent rental history, and always pay bills on time.
Just a quiet down to earth 35 year old lezbo, who doesn't look, or act 35.
Tired ov paying $500+ for a room in the west hills, if u have a basement room available that is a bonus.
My pup and I are both omni~vours, have lived with Vegans before without any any issues.
I'll respect ur eating habits as long as u respect ours.
If I do not answer, leave a message with ur phone number, and a good time to call u back.
Thank you.
