You know I love you (I lived in Houston and San Antonia for a while) but why do you make it so hard...

"A Texas man who fell and slightly injured himself [he sprained his thumb] while hiking in the Crescent Range yesterday was told by would-be rescuers that they would not be sending a helicopter up [which he requested] the mountain to fly him off the trail."

On a serious note though most Texans are tough ... it's just such a huge state that we have our fair share of people who well umm .... don't get the adventure part of the outdoors [or maybe he wanted a cheap helicopter ride who knows]. Does NH tax payers pay for copter rescues?
