What a loss! I was looking forward to initiating a new player to the joys of Fortress America. Good luck in Texas. I hear Austin is a great town. If things get any worse for us here in California, my family and I may join you. (I hear it's quite easy to get a teaching gig in Texas, unlike in California where you need a papal decree and UN resolution to be considered properly qualified and vetted.

You exagerate! It only takes about six years of education, plus class room hours, specific training and courses and continuing education, plus the tests like the Praxis and CBEST and such. Oh yeah, and finding a district that is hiring rather than laying off. But, hey, its not that bad.....right? Are any districts not downsizing? Its a scarey place for folks right now in those occupations, you never know when the axe is going to fall, and sadly, alot of people see the axe falling all around them, so they know it is only a matter of time before its their turn.

Damn, are we going to get a new group going in Texas so the rest of us can turn green with envy?

I would ponder finding a way to get over there from the UK, its shit over here to get a job (almost like T2K has happened already....), but the catch is, even the temperature in Castleford, Id. (named after the town I currently live in here) over the next 10 days are a bit too warm, and if I am not mistaken Texas is even hotter.

However, I hope you find it nice to live there mate.

It's actually been cooler than normal the last couple weeks in the southeast part of the state. Of course, today's the 1st day it hasn't rained all week, so there's a reason. Temp today was low 90's (F), normally gets upt to high 90's/low 100s this time of year. Plus the humidity factor, heat index of 105-107 isn't rare.

And it's actually been a relatively "cool" summer this year (at least, here in San Antonio).

You do know that many of us are so very jealous of you. You do know that right! But, do they play Twilight?

That's a long trip than you think (it's 90 minutes to the Austin city limits) and I have my disabled mother to think of. Driving is also painful for me. maybe something to file away for the future, but right now, I really can't.
