You would think, but 75% of new exploration has been on the New Mexico side of the basin. Even before the crash in March the Texas side of the basin was getting the bare minimum of investment on infrastructure.

It's embedded in our culture, especially if your family has been here for 13 generations like mine has. My family helped establish San Antonio De Bexar in ~1731, fought voluntarily in the American revolution, fought in the Texas revolution and was the personal doctor to Sam Houston, and served in many positions for the San Antonio local government for decades.

We'll let the Okies follow only if we can have our panhandle back, we're coming for the rest all the way up to Wyoming.

Hopefully I end up going back to the permian basin sometime soon. Got furloughed back in March and been waiting on the go call ever since. But it's how the oil field works.

Well here in Texas DFW and a large percentage of the houston area is reliant on the trinity river, which is entirely inside of Texas. West texas is largely aquifer fed. Other rivers that flow through Texas are major rivers, and if someone say tried to cut them off upstream somewhere it would be a monumental task to under take.

We also have our own power grid which also supplies the eastern part of NM, but that's not a huge deal. But we are one of the largest producers of alternative energy, between turbines, solar and nuclear.

Texas also has multiple gulf coast ports, including houston which is something like the 4th largest, and the majority of petroleum refining capacity in the United States, with an economy which is just behind that of california, which by itself would be in the top 10 largest in the world.

Texas going back to being the Republic of Texas is much more doable than people really realize.

got a 1989 4Runner with a toyota 2UZFE V8 swap with a solid axle swap on 37s, a 2004 4Runner with a 3.5" long travel lift and 35's, and a 1995 LandCruiser with a LQ4 6.0 V8 swap that long traveled on 35's.

i should be able to get around if shit goes sideways along with my small arsenal of rifles, hand guns and shotguns and all of my camping/backpacking equipment.

Hell I'm surprised John Cornyn didn't happily sign his name on the front page of that shit. I can't name one good thing he's ever done as a senator, and he's been one for the majority of my life or atleast it feels that way.

Hopefully someone has the balls to actually challenge home when his seat comes up again.

They do this every election cycle for as long as I can remember. GOV Abbott isn't the most amazing governor ever but he's not stupid, he's a pretty pro-gun guy. He also realizes if any of these even appear to be making their way through our state legislature people are gonna be irate and take the action needed. I'm not gonna let any more unconstitutional gun laws come to Texas even if it kills me.

I've been teaching all of my cousins kids real math since March. It's amazing how fast they went from helplessly ignorant to proficient in multiplication, division, and geometry as first and second graders. Feels good to actually put my expensive ass math and EE degrees to work

I've got 2 M2's and a Weatherby element that uses the same action. I can't say enough good things about them. They're fast, super reliable, light weight, and overall just stout well built guns.

Thats one sturdy shotgun. I've got 2 of the M2's and a Weatherby element that use the inertia system. I can beat the hell out them with zero issues, plus they're super light weight. Great companions to my AR's and kimber/springfield 9mm's.
