Get out your map of the USA and look for a little city called Sulphur,
Louisiana. We've lived here since 1988 and it's an okay place to live.
About 35,000 good people and another dozen who aren't very good. Low
crime rate, low fire rate, but surrounded by chemical plants and
refineries. Which was lucky as I worked in those places for more than 45
years.

South is about right, we're in USDA Zone 9b, nearly sub-tropical. We get
from 40 to 100 inches or rain a year and the state is primarily
agricultural, rice, cotton, soy beans, cattle, etc. We live in the
industrial part along Interstate Highway 10.

I grew up about 35 miles west of here in Texas where Miz Anne and I
lived for the first 15 years of our marriage. Since then we've lived all
over the world and seen wondrous things in our travels. Still, I'm happy
to be living where I am now. Come and visit, the front door is seldom
locked. May be because of that "Armed Resident" sign on the door.
