I was raised in Clovis, New Mexico.  It's about 9 miles from Texas.
When I was in High School, our civics class, when doing a mock state
legislature passes a law that would erect an 18 foot wall on the Texas
border keeping Texans out.

That part of New Mexico has about the same weather as Texas, and the
driving is usually pretty mild during the winter.  I learned a lot
when I first came up here, usually the hard way.   === Al Sparks
