Will the last person to leave silicon valley please turn out the lights.

Well, it looks like we are going to be moving to Texas. Changes in our situation here and opportunities in Texas are combining to form a growing vortex drawing us toward Lubbock in the Texas Panhandle.

Think flat. This is the edge of the Llano Estacado, one of the flattest places on the planet. Think agricultural. This city of 200,000 is the transportation and education hub for an area that was dusty prairie until the discovery of a vast underground aquifer enabled the irrigation which turned it to furtile farmland. Think educational. Texas Tech is a major research university located in Lubbock.
