Yeah, Montana is where all the Texans that are too grouchy for
Texas go. Odd, I never yet met a Texan I didn't like, much
like a Montanan, you are very likely to know pretty much where
you stand in the first few minutes and if you shoot off your
mouth much you are likely to be asked to prove it or shut up.
And the women in Texas.... ymmmmm, altho they do tend to throw
ashtrays when pissed off.

El Paso is nothing like that. The town is ringed by mountains
to the north. Real mountains. And the humidity in El Paso
rarely gets above 20% even when it rains... and when it rains
it is a typical desert washer.

Desert rains in west TX and NM are referred to as "Turd Floaters" by locals.
