USNRET Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Just curious without being too specific...we used to have a map years ago Born in Longview but left at an early age of months, raised on ranch land north of Paris and then Clarksville for Jr and Sr High Current: Corpus Christi Seems that most Texans stay in or return to Tx. What say you? I am ready for incoming comments as in BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Currently in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could. My family moved from Indiana when I was 6 years old, in 1966. So, not a native Texan, but almost. Lived in Victoria through grade school, Houston area during Jr. High and H.S., and went to college in Beaumont. Moved to Fort Worth in 1984 to work for General Dynamics (F-16 program), and have lived in north Texas ever since. I've had several career advancement opportunities over the years to relocate out of Texas, but none have ever seemed good enough to leave.

But that does not count as in you can read a frigging map in order to find Tx but can you navigate to find my crib for a beverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET isn't north of Clarksville called Oklahoma? ~13 miles or so to the nearest beer across Red River. Now it's 8 miles to the nearest town to voted to go wet.

My son was leaning that way, something pizzed him off and he became an Aggie. He had bought a pair of UT houseshoes at one point and left them here in his closet when he moved to College Station. As Dad I felt compelled to mail them to him hoping he would open his mail box while folks were around 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
