Well Bridget, I'm glad you finally came to your senses. You'll probably be happy in Austin with the rest of the Californians. There are better places such as San Antonio, Dallas, even the Houston area as long as you're not in certain wards. By the way, Texas has beaches - hundreds of miles of them. Austin is some distance from them but they're not that far away. The Texas Gulf Coast, which I'm near, extends from the mouth of the Sabine River and the Louisiana border to the Rio Grande and the Mexican border. That's right at 400 miles of beaches. Padre Island is famous among beaches. It's almost as famous among college students as Daytona. Galveston, the playground of Austinites, isn't bad. The problem with Galveston's beaches is that the muddy waters of the rivers to the east tend to drift westward along the shoreline so the water is often brown rather than clear and blue. Anyway, welcome to Texas!

I lived in San Antonio and loved it. However, a friend recently told me that city reminds her now of Los Angeles . It has grown that much…I often think of Finland as a final resting place 😎

I called Texas being badass after a family vacation years ago. Said it before Joe moved there. Even left a YT comment about it on his podcast. I know everyone hates me but I'm not a bad person. Toodles. And congrats on the move! Not a simp or a creep, I'm just a big fan! Sorry if no one believes me on anything. I'm also an artist and comedia. I'm many things. Toodles.
