    how do you recognise when volatility is dead?

Not growing or shrinking, pretty much semi rural desert with a mix of trailers, ranches and some suburban style developments...

    Is Texas the best state in which to live?

    Difficult choice, not many good places left, the poster that's considering Nevada, it's becoming Calif east side real fast. Papua New Guinea may be worth investigating, either that or Vanuatu, both look pretty interesting from what I've seen on Google Earth. Probably wouldn't have too many...
