Baloney! Just be glad we don't divide Alaska in two. Then your
beloved Texas would be the *third* largest state in the union!

Sorry, Alaska doesn't count... Hell, it's only about 1/9th the size of the
Houston metropolitan area... Hell, that's not a state, that's a suburb...
Still, I stand by my original proposition -- frozen ground don't count...
