Yeah, and most of those people moved (and brought the attitude) to Austin.

Funniest thing tho, when I finally bit the bullet and dyed the hair I got hired for a job in San Antonio sight unseen. When that contract was running out, dyed the hair again to prep for face-to-face interviews and got hired for this job (in Plano, near Dallas) sight unseen.

But in Austin, particularly if you're female, if you've got gray hair then you're stupid and can't learn nuthin'.
