At least they figured it out and made a good decision. A friend of mine from Ireland and I were driving across north Texas one time and he just couldn't get over how big and wide open it was. He said just the sheer size of America was the most difficult part of living in the states. And when you go to Europe and everything seems so close and accessible, that's easy to understand.
