So, here goes...
Reason #1:
This is a picture of the weather they woke up to on Wednesday morning.
Here is a picture of the weather to which I awoke.
Reason #2:
This place...
Which serves up this delicious flavor...
Reason #3:
Well, of course there's these folks... they're kind of a big deal.
In the interest of full disclosure, I feel I must admit to the following objectionable features...
Governor Rick "The Idiot" Perry
Leslie Cochran... putting Austin on the map for homeless cross-dressers.So, there you have it. Even with those two teeny-tiny-itsy-bitsy drawbacks, they should clearly move down here. (Having said that, I realize I will be to blame when/if they ever have to see Leslie wearing one of his thongs.)
Help me out. I know there are LOTS more reasons for them to make the move. Leave your thoughts in a comment.
Just another day trying to share this great state of ours and Being Billingsley...

tex mex and BBQ are high on my lsit!
What the heck? At what point did you have 4 beautiful donuts laid out for that picture?
I'm with Judy...I don't know how you restrained yourself from eating them to take a picture. Foolish woman! Someone could've swiped those in the few seconds you took to photograph them!
Also, pro's for this city: Longhorn football, live music, greenest city in the US (literally and environmentally speaking), film and theatre, summer weather 9 months out of the year. Hope that helps!
Judy, hey what's going on with the G rated language? I don't care for that.
That is a stock photo. Come on... you know 4 donuts would stand no chance for survival that close to me.
Let's go back this week!
AB
Willie Nelson, La Zona Rosa, and Blues on the Green!
I really have no words for those donuts...is putting bacon on top of a donut, really appetizing? Because it made me get a little sick in my mouth.
Brian...Dude..think of the benefits of living here...
1. You could have the most unusual flower planter, with built-in trellis, of anyone in Texas...You currently call it your snow blower
2. Lower medical bills because of fewer broken limbs from slipping on the ice/snow...of course that's mitigated by the increased number of walkabouts...We'll call that a wash.
3. More opportunities to dance with your brother-in-law....although no one wants to see that.....
Okeedokee....
If we could ..we'd be down there in a Texas minute.
Why we would love to …
1) The snow blower deserves to be put to pasture as a trellis, in the sense that Sass wants me to freaking build one for those jasmine plants you brought up north ... which have a snowball's chance in purgatory (being the good Catholics we are)… of surviving a Greater Nebraska winter, by the way ... but hey, the thought was lovely (and yes, I did ask you to bring up some cuttings ... had no idea you would actually do it!! PS: Krispy Kremes would have lasted longer (there we go again with the donuts! Bacon sounds a bit over the top, though).
2) Lower medical bills are a thing of the past … Obama has assured us of that … except maybe in Texas, where by God there’s still some good old common sense to be found with good old common whoop-a** provided to those who lack said sense. Having said that, and considering your oh-to-true observation that walk-abouts will increase exponentially if we do move to the Promise Land … we’ll heck … we’re doomed … but we’d sure enjoy the ride while it lasted.
3) In your dreams, bud.
4) And to add to the list, we would say the house next door to Andrea and James would be prefect … as long as Abby doesn’t wake us up every morning warming up her vocal chords. Love that little Texas Rose, but five minutes of doe-ray-me in pig-Latin is truly endearing … once. I hasten to add …we still get a kick out of watching that video… her range is amazing.
5) Sorry to the lady who commented on the Texas Longhorns being a reason to move to the Great State of Texas, but the Cornhuskers will always be # Uno … almost lost us on that one.
6) And one last one … It ain’t gonna happen unless the Good Lord sends some winning Powerball numbers our way … which I keep telling Him would be appreciated and beneficial to all involved. As usual, He seems to have other plans. Sigh.
7) Ah, heck Deano, I can’t resist … Let’s tango!
Reasons why my parents SHOULDN'T move to Texas...
1) The incredible misuse of the English language when speaking Texas Drawl... all you all know what I'm talking about. The longterm impact of confusing syntax would be irreversible.
2) Four words... Evy, Ty, Brady and Elly. And maybe even our gimpy Golden Ozzy... but he's only added because there's strength in numbers. Technically, I don't suppose a Golden Retriever that eats his own feces would keep my mom and dad in the Panhandle. There's probably plenty of that down in Texas.
3) My parents look better in the color red than orange. Who looks good in orange anyway?
4) We're sitting on the largest aquafor in the world. Water is power. And even if we live near the largest caldera on Earth that would undoubtedly wipe us out if Yellowstone sneezed, we'd still have the water resources to cool down the lava burn.
5) Our cows taste better... corn- fed. Oh, and not to mention our corn tastes better too.
6) Affordable real estate in Western NE. What's a house cost in Texas? Like 2 million dollars per square foot or something?
7) The disturmbing thought of my Uncle and dad doing the tango with the potential influence of homeless crossdressing intermixed. Sounds disfunctional. A little bit Ricky Lake.
8) The increased chance of fractured hips. Note to selves...There will come the day when you will fall and WON'T be able to get back up. I suppose the technology of Life Alert will provide some protection during Walk Abouts but the program may terminate your contract when you push your buttons on a nightly basis all the while giggling at yourselves and patting each other on the back for not spilling your drinks. Don't abuse the system.
9) Evy, Ty, Brady and Elly.
Oh dang . . . they told me Angela didn't get online much. Got the same reaction when pursuing Shaun and Whitney a couple years ago. Can't debate points 7 & 8! :o)
And . . . 9. How you gonna get around that one?
Angela...how youuuu doin? I'm glad you chimed in.
1. Have I told you we need more good doctors in Texas?
2. gimpy Ozzy would do much better in a warm climate.
3. I'm pretty sure we have a verbal commitment from S&W to move down here. Working on A&B. You don't want to be the only one in the family wearing RED do you?
4. After 26 years, I only have the Texas drawl during walkabouts.
5. Evy, Ty, Brady and Elly....exactly...the 4 best reasons to move closer to Aunt C and Uncle D.
6. Who needs water when you have Shiner Bock....I know David would agree.
