totally agree, sounds like you described Amarillo

I don't think we "officially" hit 100 yet here, but we've already had several days in the upper 90s, it won't be long though.....
and yeah, I think you're right about the crime rates/awareness, its also helped convince my wife to get her CHL and some self-defense training. We're taking some classes together and getting her CHL class this month. Something everyone should do.

we have the meth lab problems here in Amarillo too,
home invasions, carjackings, attempted carjackings, attempted kidnappings, the list goes on and on. I don't know if I notice the news stories more now or if the crime rate is actually going up.
Be prepared, stay safe.
