What's Fort Worth likes?  This looks like it could be good news.

It is a city that likes to think Texas is still the wild wild west.

Part of the Dallas Metroplex.

I saw a documentary about it once.  Mad Max, I think it was called.

Sounds good.  That's what you want.  Why live in Texas if you're not living in 'Texas'?  :alberta:

Um he might be your only good chance to practice law.  Take the Texas Bar Exam and use your connection there.

I think I'll call him over the weekend.  Not beg him for a job, exactly, but just ask for some advice, or maybe see if he wants to catch lunch or whatever if I go to Texas.  I mean, it is a very attenuated connection, but I remember liking the guy when I was a kid.  He had a Nintendo.

I have family in Ft Worth. The visits I had there were not unpleasant. It's a nice place.

My uncle became a born-again Christian when he got transferred to Ft. Worth by the freight rail company he works for.  I've been meaning to visit my little cousins down there but have never gotten around to it, since I'm not very close with my uncle or his wife.

Yep.  I have a lot of their apparel from Christmases gone by.   :D

They had him in Chicago, and then some little desert town in Arizona, then Ft. Worth for the last 10 years or so.

It also seems to me that Texas, especially the Dallas/Fort Worth area, has the biggest concentration of variety in breastaraunts.

Good grief that was a strenuous before bedtime task, having to rebuild my mattress.  <_<
