Attention Texans. You all might like this.

The only thing I dislike about Texas is the smell of the cows as you pass from Las Cruces to El Paso on I-10.
 
Just checking. The lack of :D and :), or even ;), made me wonder. No hard feelin's(sic).

I like it cold, too. That's what air conditionin's(sic) for!! ;)

At least Kevin was smart enough not to say anything bad about the brewery in Shiner. ;)

If your looking to government for the solution, you obviously don't understand the problem.
 
Whilest I am CERTAIN there is far more actual culture to the citizenry of the great state of Indiana than how to raise corn and basketball players, I know nothing of it. Texas culture, however, is world-renown. While much of it is sterotype, there's a fair piece of it that's utterly true. And, of course, there's much more that's unknown to those north of the the Red River or east of the Sabine.

Fine with me. It's too crowded here, already. :)

As it is July, I find myself in the awkward position of proudly defending Hell.

[Shoot, I can't get through the Ranger museum in Waco in less than an hour!]

Kevinw, if you stay away from most of the cities, it's a DRY heat! :) Nobody in his right mind would live in Houston, Austin or the Metroplex!

Check out Fort Davis, sometime. At 5,000 feet, on summer nights you may well want a blanket!

I really like being able to work on my suntan during December, January and February, down in Terlingua...My arthritis bothers me less when it's 110 or so, and the 20% humidity does wonders for my attitude!

Just color me "smug".

The Panhandle. It doesn't often get into the triple digits during the summer and since the only thing between Amarillo and the north pole is two bob-wire fences and a stray moose, most of the winters get an honest-to-God blizzard or two.

Speaking of Hornet's nest, my brother has a novel way of taking care of them.

He and his buddy each grab a weedwacker. One fellow pokes a stick into the nest to stir them up good n' angry. They both standby with their whirling weedwackers and whack 'em as the hornets come out to do battle. Y'know, there's gotta be a better way to kill spare time.
 
Gary...there's got to be a better way to kill hornets too! ;)

Art...stop teasing us about your tan lines! :)

Texas is high on my list of places to visit. My cousin moved to San Antonio, I have an artist friend in Kerrville (any of you heard of Jack Terry?) and there are also several TFL'ers I would really like to meet. One or two have even offered to buy me a Shiner! :D

You forgot racing. In Indiana, it's best to always remember racing, especially if you are driving on our interstates. "If it goes in a circle, it's a racetrack. If it doesn't go in a circle, it's a dragstrip."

I'm a Texan myself, but years ago I heard this joke and thought it was a good one coming from some ass wipe who lives in Kalifornia.

"A Texan is like a fart. They're loud, smell bad, won't go back to where they came from, and when one comes around you know the $hit isn't far behind."
 
NAD,
Now maybe you have a point there, son.

'Cause we can be a pain to hold on to and a pleasure to let go. ;)

Give a friend a Shiner!
 
Ottergal,
Yes, I have heard of Jack Terry. I live about 20 minutes North of Kerrville. I can't stand Texas Heat, therefore, I drink a lotta Shiner, and cool off in the clean and clear waters of the Guadalupe. I spend most of the Summer just soakin' up the water, and stayin' cool. Sayin' you like it over triple digits, is just as stupid as those Yankees who think they like it -60.

Yeah well so is an Oven.
 
LOL. Last lightning storm that went through the Panhandle, we figured most of our topsoil wound up in Lubbock. :D

Funny Amarillo should be mentioned. The people are friendly enough but the weather is legendary. You can be freezing in the morning with heavy rains and wind and by noon, down to your T-shirt panting for air. I'll stick to my mild (sissy) California climate (but it was 90 at the range today).
 
So, Kevin, when y'all leavin' fer Vermont?
If y'all need some help hookin' up that U-Haul, just let us know, son. Be glad to help. ;)
 
Heck, I'm headed to a wedding in Marathon on the 19th, and bloody well look forward to being in Texas! I'm flying into Albuquerque from South Dakota (it's a WET heat, here) and driving to TX from there (don't ask). Nice coming to another place where me and my 9mm traveling companion are welcome. It'll be nice to drive through desert instead of grassland for a change! See Y'all soon! Take Care- Dakotan
 
Okay, Dakotan, I won't ask--but there's an airport in Midland. Big Iron Birds land there all the time; I seen 'em! Rentawrecks, too!

Enjoy the White Buffalo! And if you get up to Talkin' Ted Thayer's mystical junk emporium, tell him I said "HI!"
