You turn the knobs on the end to wind from instruction to instruction.Keeps the paper dry.

Texas is ranked 2nd of area in the US. The total area is 268,820 square miles

New Zealand has a population of 3,600,000 and approximately 60,000,000 sheep. The land area of New Zealand is 103,737 square miles

YOu guys need MAPS? That place aint Big Enuff to get lost in,,

I see you guys have almost 20 sheep per person,, thats pretty close to how Texans keep guns.

The place is windy and twisty and yes you can get lost.

Yep, and that 20 gun average makes its very own statement (my gun is bigger than yours?). Unfortunately, there is only an average of about 0.5 brains per person to go along with all those guns, which may explain why TX is ranked 5th in homicides per capita. Sorry, I shouldn't belittle an entire state because of some of it's residents.

Comparing guns vs sheep? Can't remember when/if I've ever heard about a sheep killing someone? I think I'll take the sheep.

Texas hasn't been in the top ten for a decade based on murder rate to population, but were for quite a long run prior to that. And actually the majority of the homicides in Texas are due to non-residents, the illegal kind along with the people working for them on this side Sad

Actually, I was mistaken, Toes. Thanks for catching my bad journalism, and sorry if I stepped on your, ...well, you know. I was taking info from this site, listing the 10 most violent states in America, which, for the sake of this argument, still tends to support my point...
