He's been called worse I'm sure. But I don't think of him as an animal, just kinky.

Ol_Rancher said:There is a fair amount of religious diversity in Texas Hill Country. In this rural cattle county there is a Greek Orthodox monastary and the nearest town of 1200 has 17 different churches. I know of a Hindu temple in the next county but to be truthful I know of no mosque.
As for the ( Yeah Right !) remark, I have no reason to show you any disrespect but, the handle 'Cool Dood' implies a certain lack of savoir faire. Perhaps as a retiree and of mature age and former science teacher, such a name evokes a less than serious response after having taught so many ' Cool Dudes' of high school age.
This forum is open to all and your questions are earnest and have been honestly answered thus far. I would have expected such a handle on MySpace.com rather than a forum on early retirement.
I wish you good fortune and readily admit my life planning until age 40 was in 5 year blocks. You have the advantage of time and long term outlook, I have had the advantage of demographics.
The rest of you guys forget that Ol' Rancher is in charge of keeping them there furriners OUT of Texas... if every poster who wants to move to Texas was made welcome, California would empty out before the end of the month. But don't worry, I promise to stay away. I'm glad guys like you are living in Texas so that guys like me don't have to.Ol_Rancher said:'Chief of Public Relations' sounds like something thought up in Austin by some state task force.
Hmmmm, so if this pilot program is a success then they'll be ready to expand the tagging to taxpayers?Ol_Rancher said:The big issue around here is how to defy the upcoming attempt to electronically tag every livestock animal in the state. What they can count can be taxed and what they can track can be recorded.

yakers said:Neat, we know where every cow is but our borders are wide open. Whats wrong with this picture?
E komo mai, brah, plenny room for all!Cool Dood said:Careful, Nords, another place on my list is Hawaii.....
Nords said:Next time you're researching, try HawaiiAnswers.com and the state's propaganda website. If you're still interested after that, I have more.
Ol_Rancher said:So if I come off as less than 'Texas Friendly', so be it.
You'll want to get a feel for the local issues. Here's one local newspaper, and here's the other. This ain't exactly the Washington Post. However Honolulu has a Craigslist now, so they're feeling the competition breathing down their necks.Cool Dood said:Oh, and Nords, I've had a chance to look through those links, and I'm ready any time for whatever else you can throw at me! Feel free to send it by PM, if you don't want to clutter up the public areas, and if you don't mind then I may have some more specific questions to ask at some point.
Thanks again!

Gotta love Kinky's campaign slogans: "Why the Hell not?" and "How hard could it be?"

kate said:Texas Hill Country -- I never even knew there was such a thing, and it sounds like how that's supposed to be. I'll make a point of visiting and see what it's about. I was going to do that with N'orlins, and some day I will.
I get the sense the far out Adirondacks is something like Texas in attitude.
