I'm in San Antonio, so it's about 3 hours north of me.

Then stop doing it. It's not rocket science.
There's also millions of those folks coming over illegally. Must be after the good tomatoes they're sending here.

I worked for a small software company for over 12 years, developing Windows-based estate planning software using C++/MFC, and a bigger company bought us out in 1998. When they decided to move development of the software from San Diego to Idaho (in 2000), I quit, and moved to Texas because I've been to Idaho, and I wasn't impressed. Out of curiosity, I googled to see if the software was still being sold. It is, but it still looks like it did back in the mid-90's. The forms have been updated to reflect new features, the company is still using screen shots that were made back when Windows XP was still popular, and they still talk about faxing stuff to your clients (I don't know anyone that even has fax capabilities in their home). The price of the software has also almost tripled since this company bought the company I worked for. Every year, they have to update the code to reflect tax law changes (both federal and state-by-state), and it looks like that's all they've been doing for the last 15 years. There was at one point almost a million lines of code in this app. I'm kinda surprised the software is still being sold, but I'm disappointed they haven't kept up with more modern platforms.

And all the potatoes you could ever want.
As long as you're not picky about their quality. An acquaintance of mine who left the state recently said one of the best things about moving was that he could actually get good potatoes again; all that was available locally were QC rejects that weren't sellable anywhere else.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Well, the same thing happens all over. New Zealand has more sheep per capita than any other country (they thrive in Middle Earth's lush pastures). But you can't get a decent lamb chop - the best ones all go to Japan, where they have become besotted with el-primo lamb. And Tasmania is covered with millions of Apple trees - but only the export rejects are for sale locally.
