Hi Andy,
I have spoken to a local falconer in Amarillo and he likes it there pretty well. I went only once and loved it. It is quite beautiful to me. I would love to hear more about what you would share, since you have such a different opinion of the area. It looks like wind is the worst part of the climate, but at least it is sunny a great percentage of the time, right? Also the winters won't find you buried in snow, but you will get some good cold, correct? Maybe even see a little powder on the ground occaisionally? The job market doesn't appear terrible there. The cost of living is pretty nice and average house is fairly cheap. Please elaborate as we are SERIOUSLY looking to go to Tex and we want to make a good decision!
