I was born in Kansas, and lived the first 18 years of my life on my great-grandpa's farm. After that, lived in Texas, Wyoming, Utah and Nebraska before coming back to Kansas.
I can honestly say that I'd prefer to live back in Wyoming over any other state. I loved the lack of state income taxes, the low prices on everything, and the land and people.
I have absolutely NO fond memories of Texas. Ya'll can have that state. Don't miss the food, the heat, or the dust.
