No state that we visited this year has been
populous enough to require 10 digit dialing and all the cities have
had only one area code.
-
West Texas is NOT the only place where you
can drive for 50 miles between towns and not see anything - try
Nebraska
-
Outside of the East, the South and
California, racial diversity does not exist - 98% of the people are
white.
-
If you want to see really LONG trains go to
the mid-west. The ones in Texas are miniatures by comparison.
-
Contrary to what we see in Houston, not every
square inch of land is being built on. There is LOTS of open land left
- you just have to go out west.
-
Texas and Alaska are NOT the only states that
have oil. You would be surprised - AGAIN try Nebraska
-
There are some states that are really just
plain ugly.
-
Not all junk yards are for old cars. Some are
for old farm equipment - AGAIN Nebraska.
-
Urban Sprawl does not exist along all
interstates. There are some where the exits only go to someone's ranch
or farm.
-
Places exist where the local news you watch
in the evening is actually from an entirely different state.
-
Totally casual attire has not completely taken over the world. In
Dallas and Forth Worth, people still "dress up" to go shopping, to museums and even to botanical gardens.

In some areas of the country you can wear whatever you
want because style is not
important.
