Texas will be happy to have Massachusetts move here, we had lots of spare room.

We will treat y'all right, the more democrats the better.

We have good food, warmer weather, and cheaper houses.

Bring some of y'all's cooler weather with you, the summers are a little warm here.

We will have y'all speaking Texan in no time.

Spring is almost here, you don't want to miss the wildflowers.

7. So y'all come on down.

We will keep the light on for y'all.

This is just for democrats only, the republicans can stay.

We have enough republicans already.

We need Gov. Bill White.

28. I came here as a grad student of history at UT (now the f***cking Austin Pro Football team) in 91

Thus I have no doubt you can kick my liberal arts ass no matter how old your ass is. :)

9. Actually, today was pretty warm

For up here, just about at the freezing point...this storm started as rain, then overnight changed to sleet then heavy, wet snow...that's why it's so 'clingy' on everything...it's very heavy though, weighing down the tree branches, and taking down power lines. I lost power overnight, but luckily it was restored soon after. By this afternoon, it was sleeting again...not anywhere near bone-chilling cold.

16. Just think, when y'all move down here you can escape that.

Now we can have bad weather, just had some cold weather.

Sometimes a hurricane but not bad weather over all.

20. We know what it feels like to be picked on.

We had years of it because of Bush.

Right now everything is kind of ugly because of the recent freezing weather.

My yard is dead looking, some plants died.

Our plants are not made for below 32 for several days.

My yard is really ugly, the only thing green are the weeds.

Come spring every thing will be green again.

And the wild flowers.

Thanks Lady Bird.

19. Yeah - it's 'pretty' here too

(Hudson) except for the broken trees and stuff. Nice that it happened on the holiday.

I've got to remember to get out with the camera while it's still pretty like this. Really loved your shot - didn't know there were too many tree-lined streets left in Lowell. Thanks for sharing.

21. Hey!

Lowell has trees! Hahah we're a big city in a small area! I'm teasing, I know what you're saying. Here's a shot I took last year when I was living downtown -

My apartment was in one of the buildings facing the canal. :hi:

We have lots of bayous.

Pretty picture.

23. LOL!

Yeah, sorry, don't really think 'rural' when I think 'Lowell'. ;) That's another incredible shot! Holy cow - pardon my ignorance, but I didn't know Lowell had a canal. That's an awesome picture.

Just for giggles, here's a shot of my backyard a little earlier this year:

(We have trees! ;) )

That would have let to some interesting driving.

No shopping carts in the way, just take your time.

No screaming children.

33. Sure, no shopping carts, screaming children, or half-aware "shoppers"

but too often they're restocking when I'm out, so it's a bit of a minefield :P

The only thing I don't like is when they turn the lights off in the freezers. That doesn't make much sense in a 24-hour store :eyes:

40. Years ago I noticed a goth guy shopping with his mother, though it was during the day.

I had recently seen the South Park episode with the goth kids and had to get out of that aisle before I lost it :rofl:

44. The Urban Animals may not be around anymore

but there are other skating groups, like Skate Trash. I was with them for a while, as they had weekly skate-outings. That usually consisted of skating from one bar to the next, over the course of several hours :D

38. Hell yes.

Please take him, along with KKK Bailey.

All the democrats can move to Texas, our republicans can move to MA.

We will then take over Texas with all our new democrats and kick some ass in Washington.

Our republicans will freeze in MA.

That is my plan.
