my first real job was a great paying job opportunity for a young man, welding in South and East Boston shipyards. after the first winter I ran home and took an $8 dollar an hour pay cut to get away from from those rediculous winters. In my beloved Florida I can always take off enough clothes to keep cool. regarding texas, didn't William T. Sherman say "If I owned both hell and texas I'd live in hell and rent out texas"?
