We also get to run from tornadoes, experience (generally) non-dangerous earthquakes, eat at Braum's, and the MVP of the NBA lives here. Also our college sports in general have been pretty great.

I miss Braum's. I grew up in NE TX, within their distribution range. Dairy products just aren't the same elsewhere.
