The results are in about Austin Texas!

And they don't look good.

As you know, I did a throw down asking two specific people to give me ten reasons as to why I should think about considering the idea of possibly moving there at some point in time (like when hell freezes over.)

I got the results.

The first person who I asked to respond to my throw down said, "do you really think I would encourage anyone to move to Austin? The last thing Austin needs is more people! If anything, I would encourage people who recently moved here to leave -- especially those who don't keep Austin weird."  Obviously he is acting like that class of San Franciscan who wishes San Francsisco was just like the way it was when they first arrived during either the Summer of Love or its 70s Gay Mecca phase.  In short, he belongs to the class of people who need to grow up and realize things change.  What is really strange is that he perceives himself as some alternative hippie type even though he has  corporate job as a technical writer and has been in the same job for 23 years (more or less.)

The second one is not on Facebook because it has too many triggers.  No, I don't understand.

I ended up calling her with the throwdown challenge.  She said, "We're trying to figure out how to get out of here once your niece graduates high school."

So that leaves me to determine that the winner of the challenge is my Aunt, who made a case for my moving there.

Props to her for that!
