Hey bssman, I'm new here too and in the same boat. New to an area (not TX, though, MI) and minus a local dealer. I'm also married, no babies, though, and live in a town of less than 3,000 people - most of which I don't know and the ones I do know don't smoke...moved here b/c of my husbands job. Anyway, have you nonchalantly (sp?) tried to find someone you work w/ that might be able to help you out? That's worked for me in the past when I've moved before. Not that it's working for me now.:-) Have you met your neighbors? That's also been helpful to me. Let me know if you ever come across any tips...good luck!
