FWIW, we're "natural" citizens (Thanks, Grandpa!) and now in Dallas -
explicitly due to the job market.  Moving three times in under six
months is ... grueling, but better than having no income. Miss Atlanta
and family, but hope to not have to move again any time soon.

On a positive note, aside from the employment bit, we're much lighter of
unnecessary "stuff". ;)
