Having lived most all my life in texas, I have to say that country folks have a way, for the most part, of making everyone feel comfortable and welcomed.
However, these same gentle folks would be the first to let you know that while they would gladly share what they have willingly if they could, trying to take things from them without asking could be a VERY bad decision!
Just don't let the golden horde get to all that Blue Bell ice cream!
Hehehe Riverwalker - are you trying to talk all of us preppers into moving your way?? Would love to live closer to everyone so we could band together during this, but it looks as if we all will just have to form our "networks" this way so we know who to trust and what our options are in the evnet when are forced to leave our homes - takin it a day at a time LOL!
God Bless and Prep On

Most country folks in Texas make good neighbors but you sure don't want to get on their bad side!

Wow RW,
I have been bookmarking new prepper networks like crazy. You deserve a huge "attaboy" for being the first to start one up. I'm sure you feel like the proud daddy everytime a new state network comes online.
Congratulations!
To: Windjammer
Thanks for the kind words. I try to remind myself that it only takes a "spark" to start a fire!
Thanks Windjammer!

Hey, how are you doing? This was a great post.
HEY I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS FOR GETTING THE NETWORKS STARTED
To: Maddog
No problem Maddog! Although, I'm a bit too old to be starting a complete nationwide network, I'm glad to see Tom take the idea and run with it. Thanks.

Thanks Leon for the gracious comments.
I enjoyed your recent article on consumption. It was really good and brought out a very ggod point about our all consuming nature that has developed in our society.
This particular post was meant to highlight certain parts of our state for those who may be looking to relocate from the big city and attempt a simpler and more frugal lifestyle.
Thanks.

Brenham is a very beautiful part of Texas. We love the drive from La Grange to Brenham - in spring time, beautiful blue two lane drive.
