Baloney! Just be glad we don't divide Alaska in two. Then your
beloved Texas would be the *third* largest state in the union!

Happy Flying!

I have heard that and what would happen if Colorado were flattened?

It would be Nebraska.

It would be Nebraska.

Or worse, Iowa!

Sorry, Alaska doesn't count... Hell, it's only about 1/9th the size of the
Houston metropolitan area... Hell, that's not a state, that's a suburb...
Still, I stand by my original proposition -- frozen ground don't count...

Oooo - good old fashioned all-around-fun region bashing! :-)

Anyhoo - looks like Texas has yet _another_ reason to feel inferior:
Houston is smaller than Sitka, Juneau, and Anchorage, Alaska. See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y_surface_area

(I've visited Sitka and Anchorage, but never Houston. Alaska is a fantastic
and memorable place to visit, while I can't think of anything memorable
about my short visit to Fort Worth, Texas.)

Ahhh, but those areas have a single city making up the entire metropolitan
area... Houston has various smaller entities that make it up... According to
http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/metro05.prn, we're at 7,706.7
sq-miles...

I've visited Sitka and Anchorage also... Nothing memorable... They do have
more right-thinking gun laws there than here though... Probably because they
never had to throw off the yoke of Yankee repression like we have after the
War of Northern Aggression...

while I can't think of anything memorable
about my short visit to Fort Worth, Texas.

Well, that was probably because you spent 3 hours just driving around DFW
trying to get out of there... Yeah, it's a big airport, but most of us
around here can manage it in less than 2 hours... ****in' tourists -- always
driving slow...

I can think of few places more beautiful than Alaska. I was lucky
enough to be in Denali Park with no phone,, and no TV, in the middle of
a July fireweed bloom. WOW!

I've also been to many places in Texas... G
