re: Possible Move to Midland, TX

Absolutely true. This past year, due to drought I didn’t have to mow my lawn from June to November

Droughts in the southeast are laughable compared to Texas droughts.

I’m talking a normal year. Just look at the dense forests that the southeast has compared to the mostly flat farm/ranch land that Texas has. Just can’t compare. Coastal Mississippi is even a different world vs coastal Texas.

I like Midland. I've got family that moved there after they sold the family ranch near El Paso. Well, they're in Midland and Marfa now.

Anyways, I suspect you'll like living in Midland. All depends upon your likes and hobbies and wife and family and where, in Midland, you choose to reside.

They've got one helluva long range shooting club there.

I ran across this and assume it’s not your company, but any merger can lead to some job losses. But can also lead to growth and more jobs too, once they most likely eliminate some duplication initially. Might be some temporary turmoil but my understanding is both companies were already across the road from each other. The key is, does your new job/company interact (business wise) with either company?:
