does anyone else have to fight the urge to falcon punch anyone with a thick NJ accent?...or is it just me?

It's ok, NYers feel that way too.

Does that come in Cajun or Original recipe ?

My companies corporate headquarters are in Plano, Texas - just outside of Dallas. I have been to corporate once - I was picked up at the airport and driven everywhere I needed to go. I thought this was way over the top but was informed that too many past visitors got lost in Dallas - it's actually cheaper to provide a driver.

That shows how stupid foreigners are. Even I don't get lost in Dallas.

I went on business to Austin one time... and I have to say if that's the BEST part of TX then Texas is TRULY f**ked.

I guess it just depends on what you're into. I'm not familiar with the gay scene, so maybe it does suck.:biggrin::biggrin:

You know... those type of comments don't bother me because... well... I don't live in Texas.

Larger cities were bound to get singled out: They attract big corporations with big payrolls that require big cuts to make meaningful differences to their bottom lines. At the state level, California had the most mass layoffs with 115,014 workers let go, followed by Michigan with 46,817, Illinois with 41,887 and Texas with 33,005.

Ding!

That sound was us hitting capacity in austin. Please move along, nothing to see here.

The biking is terrible, the beer is warm and westy was right about the weather.

You can't really bike 52 weekends a year. At least one of them will have rain.

I'm stunned that nobody wants to move to the golden state! The California dream!!

The sun! The sea! The taxes! The traffic! The affordable housing! The wonderful business climate!
