Its funny how Texas is often paraded around as an example of a state to look up to. Even here in Colorado the WingNuts love to worship Texas and keep insisting that Colorado should try to imitate the Lone Star state.

Anyway, I was curious and I looked up some of those "pesky facts" and I found that:

Texas has a higher unemployment rate than Colorado.

Average income in Texas is about 10% lower than in Colorado.

So why are we supposed to be emulating Texas?

But is housing, gasoline, food, malprcatice/auto/home/workers comp/medical insurance, haircuts, green fees or DVD rentals about 10% lower in Texas too?

Wow, so while I was checking to see what our current unemployment rate in Austin is (it's somewhere under 4% IIRC), I got distracted by this:

Question: What is the climate like?

Answer: The climate is temperate, with 300 days of sunshine annually. Average temperatures range from 42 to 62 degrees in winter and 75 to 95 degrees in the summer. Average rainfall is 32.49 inches. Snowfall is rare.

OMG, I *wish* we had temps as low as 75 in the summer. Last summer we had soemthing like 60 100+ days. Thank God for air conditioning!

Last time I was in Texas most stuff I bought seemed to cost about the same, including gas.

I think that those are average high/low ranges.

Oh, I know they're averages... I'm just saying that no WAY is there an average of 75 at any point in the summer here. Unless you count summer as the 10+ months of the year when it's not chilly out.
