re: Rank the SEC states in order of where you would most like to live

No insecurity here.
The pictures were simply to Illustrate my comment about the vastness of the terrain.
I didn't even choose attractive shots?? (but if you're looking for beautiful professional images, pull up a chair; my offerings would be endless).
Like I said, you don't have to think it's a great place--no skin off my nose.
I just can't see how any honest person (who isn't leaving behind a bad marriage or relationship gone sour) can characterize Texas as the worst place on the planet.
To each his own.
