Is there something special about Texas?
If the current state school board has its way, the rest of the world will consider a Texas high school graduate the result of 'special education.'

Everybody's taste buds are different. But I've never had better Mexican food than that found in the lone Star State.
You must know something I don't as I far prefer the Mexican food found in selected restaurants in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Socorro, New Mexico. Out here it is TexMex, jalapenos instead of green chile, and what is that brown sauce? yecch!
Around Austin, San Antonio, etc. Odessa and around there (North Western Texas) has some pretty hill country.
Odessa? you must have that place confused with somewhere else. Odessa is in the middle of a dead flat semi desert punctuated primarily by pumpjacks and oil refineries. IIRC even one of the most famous Texas authors, J. Frank Dobie, called it the ugliest terrain he had ever seen.
