Who here is from Texas?

Well, since we are two pages into this topic I guess it's time I explain why I started this thread.

In January my lease will be up and I have narrowed down my choices of places to live and jobs I would like to do.

1) San Antonio, TX - working at the Toyota plant. As you all know I worked on the security/ERT team when I lived up in Indiana. The Texas plant is under construction and I would love to be part of the Toyota team again, but it's expensive to live out there, very hot and I'd be landlocked.

2) Evansville, IN - unsure of job This is where I grew up, jobs are plentyful and housing in cheap but good quality and safe. It's a great city and I said that if Florida never worked out I'd move back there. I really can't work outdoors for long periods of time in the snow (health problems) so going back to Toyota there is not really an option. But I could always get another job and enjoy owning my own house for the first time and have something I could call my own.

3) Stay in Florida - Red Cross Things have improved since I first posted in this thread, hence why I haven't responded earlier. Money would be tight here but I'd be close to family and I could enjoy the great weather year round.

I just don't know what to do.

When in doubt, flip a coin....


Then do the exact opposite.
 
Chimp-

Its too COLD up'dare! That is exactly what brought me south. I had a garden level apartment, and one day I looked out and all I could see was snow...it had covered my window. So, I flew south.

And who wants to be land locked anyway!!

Cost of living here has gone up, but the other perks are totally worth it. The sun. Beach. What walks along the beach. So we have the "occasional" hurricane. At least it's not SNOWING 6 months out of the year!!
 
I would much rather put up with snow over hurricane anyday.

Here we've had the worst- ICE STORMS!!

I remember being 16 at the time and the neighbors called for an ambulance to come and rescue them since they did not feel safe driving in the slick stuff and their electricity had gone out. I also remember my would-be-future instructor sliding down the hill on his butt as a means of returning to the rig with the patient on the scoop. :lol: (think 300Lb Lime rolling down the hill as they had the bright green jackets!) :blink: EMS is more fun in ice storms.
