Currently housing the Turpens of Dallas, TX. We are transplants from northern california, embarking on a wonderful exploration of the American southwest. OK, maybe not, we moved here for the jobs, good schools, dark skies (well, darker than the SF Bay area anyway), great food (Texas is BBQ). Of course, this is all my opinion (Richard) and my wife and kids will probably chime in on their own on what they like about Texas.
