I haven't lived there, but have spent a bit of time there for work. Honestly, I find it to be the harshest climate I have ever been around....either burning hot or freezing cold...and always a strong wind blowing dust and sand....

I like the people there a lot...good, down to earth folks with lots of agricultural and oil field experience....

I find the food to be good as well...I like robust flavors and the Mexican food and barbecue out that way provides that....

There is excellent hunting and fishing in the.area....

The only.thing that I really didn't like is the lack of vegetation...growing up in the south, I am used to lush, green vegetation and I found myself missing that when there....

Cost of living is dirt cheap....check out housing costs there and you will be pleasantly surprised....that is, unless you get into one of the oil&gas ares...

That was almost word for word how a colleague put it.

I'm definitely going to miss the greenery of Mississippi. :(
