Not as big as Alaska, but still, it's BIG!

inspired by trying to figure out where Lubbock is, in conjunction with a story on Texas Tech

For another insight into just how big Texas is, consider: the distance from El Paso to Beaumont, TX is 100 miles greater than the distance from El Paso to Beaumont, CA; that latter distance includes about half the width of New Mexico, the full width of Arizona, and basically the width of California. Oh, that first distance is also 60% longer than our drive home to MD from here.
