What leads you to Dayton, Dave? Got family or friends there?

It's a pretty and pleasant area and far enough away from Houston to be peaceful. I used to have a college buddy from Liberty but I lost track of him a long time ago. It could be a nice choice for a guy bent on relocation to a warmer climate. Winters are pretty nice, but believe me, in the summertime, a warmer climate is what you'll get! A hundred degrees and a hundred percent humidity. That never bothered me until I got so damn old and cranky I'd probably bellyache no matter where I lived.

Houston traffic is something to behold. Rush hour madness! The same in the Dallas/Fort Worth area where I live. We moved back here because here is where the jobs are.

San Antonio is historic and interesting, as is Austin. Austin's expensive. Both cities have decent climates.

Keep us advised, and if I can scope out anything for you or otherwise assist you, I'd be glad to do so.
