Wife and I are both from WI. Moved to TX for work in 1986.

We have been all over the state and if I had to live in TX, and could live anywhere in the state, I'd be in the Fort Davis area. Low population density and enough elevation to make summers tolerable.

After 35 years, I still cannot stand the summers in low elevation Texas.

We bought land in rural Ozark County Missouri 10 years ago and love it. Happiness will be TX in our rear-view mirror....sooner rather than later! Better weather, cheaper land, lower taxes (for a retiree) and we speak the same language as virtually everyone else. Can't say the same for here...not even close.

We know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
