I live in a tiny little town called Stockdale. Small enough to be free from

most crime but too small most of the time since you have to drive too darn

I found a Stockdale on the map hanging on the wall here. It is south

of Seguin and east of San . If that's your town, it is a long

drive to both cities. Round Rock used to be a small town, too.

Also introducing myself:

I'm 47 and also live in TX--San Angelo, to be exact. We're almost 100,000

in size now.

I joined this group yesterday and this is the first email I've seen. How

funny that it happens to be about TX :-)

I look forward to getting to know all of you!
