Found this interesting as to why Texas is the only state that's on its own power grid:

yep, Texas is an all right place.  If it weren't for the heat and the cowboys it would be great(er)

[Stealth]

actually Texas blows

it would be a much nicer place (as you said) if we didn't have the humidity and stuff.  but the girls are hot.  only place hotter is california

Well then there's this restaurant out in the middle of nowhere that serves up a 72 ounce steak.

Interesting article...except that it perhaps neglected on one fact and definately messed up on the other.

Here's the slight neglect.  There is four power grids in north america.  The west, the east, texas, and then there's quebec.

The power outage did not start in Canada.  Its been traced to Ohio.  The Ontario power grid is slightly more modern (although still massively outdated) than the New York one that we commonly sell to.

But I can't expect them to get everything right...it is after all MSN.

Further proof to my theory that Texas is to Canada what Quebec is to America! Ermm...

It's MSN, like Ice said. Expect little, get little...

I thought maybe you were a Texas nut, Stealth, so I thought saying Texas sucks, etc. in my first response was a bad idea, but you're right: Texas blows.

Hey, Ice, do you live in the GTA?

For anyone who doesn't, there was this one kickass interview with the Major of Toronto: Mel Lastman. He's know for saying his mind and not being very politically correct.

So, during the outage, Canada said it was the Americans fault , and vice versa. So, they ask Mel Lastman what he thinks. And he says "Well, have you ever seen the Americans take responsibility for anything!?"  

Thats was great

that's very considerate of you redsniper

Texas has its good points, but the bad i think far outweighs the good

i was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, and i moved to Texas about 10 years ago.  A few really cool things i have discovered:

not all the people here are cowboys
the people who aren't cowboys are pretty damned cool
of great looking women, i mean
wide open skies
sunsets....really kick ass sunsets
No humidity in West Texas
no snow.......cept for those two days a year.
hardly ever rains where i am,

Now for someone who likes it hot, and loves sunshine, West Texas rocks.

[phreak]

i can understand your reasoning to get out of cleveland. except that footbal isn't the same when its 70 and sunny
