Remote

1. Brewster County, the largest county in my region and in the state of Texas, is the size of Connecticut in square miles. Yet, it does not have a single red-yellow-green traffic signal.

2. To see a movie on the big screen, you have to drive an hour and a half to Alpine, two hours to El Paso, or three hours to Midland.

3. Barnes and Noble will never infringe upon our wonderful independent bookstores.

4. Everyone drives with a ice chest in their car, so they can do their produce shopping in the Big City.

5. Folks are ready for anything to happen. If you have the energy and the gumption, you can accomplish just about anything here. Nobody is going to tell you you can't.

6. It is possible to stand on top of a mountain, turn all the way around and not see a road, building, or powerline. There's no sign of man.

7. You can hear silence here.
