I cover a field office that stretches from Waco to Lufkin to Port Arthur to Brownsville to El Paso. That’s only the southern 2/3 of Texas, and it’s around 200K square miles. 830 miles across, 450 miles deep. Further across than the driving distance from New York to Chicago. Texas is a big state. Alaska is quite a big larger, yes, but I don’t have to drive across that one.

A lot of people forget just how big Texas is. On Interstate 10 from El Paso to San Antonio, it is a ten hour run at 70mph.

@stanwal, God created armadillos so Texans could have ’possum on the halfshell.
