Ok I just discovered this forum, and while not trying to plant a flag and claim it as my own I guess I will say hi and do a short intro. I am not new to Texas, but after retiring from the US Army (helicopter pilot) I saw that Ft Worth was not the same town I grew up in and hell even has lost it's identification, when I grew up if you used terms like "the metroplex" or "Dallas/Ft Worth" you would get a quick ticket to the ground, you might get off better if you called another man's mother a nasty name. Besides too many people and too much traffic, and I don't really like people, land cannot be had in the area for even a fortune. So Abilene didn't look so bad and I got a job out here and we found and bought some land, and built a home. Now I can shoot off my back porch, even my Barrett .50 BMG. So we settled here and my wife who is from Baltimore fell in love with the area.
atriot: I saw a helicopter before.
No joke. Amazing the amount of emotions the interwebz can stir.
