Welcome from S. OK!! I actually grew up in S. Texas, sw of San Antonio. I'm only a couple hours' drive north of you on Hwy. 81 in Duncan. Been here for 50 years. You will learn a lot and probably spend too much time on here like the rest of us do.
Later this year I'm going to be a southerner in Iowa. I am and am not looking forward to the move for various reasons.
