In no particular order, and based on the Austin to Houston experiences of a
New Yorker only...
Flame suit on.... (all in jest) -> <grin>
1) Plenty of steers, but only met one queer.
2) Ford meets their sales quota for pickups in Texas. Everyone has either
an F150, or an F350 Dually. No-one has the F250. Chevrolet and GMC
owners are outcasts.
3) Didn't see any gunracks in Austin, Houston, or the drive in between.
4) Even Grandma drives a dually pickup with a 30 foot horse trailer at
75mph in Texas.
5) McDonalds must be the official state restaurant.
6) Texas has great f#$king beef ribs, even in the crappy places.
7) I didn't know trailer homes/parks could be so nice.
8) A 50X50 yard is more than sufficient for 2 cows. They are natural lawn
mowers, and you can apparently sell the fertilizer.
9) The only handguns I saw were owned by "tha law", and were pistols, not
revolvers.
10) Tex-centric aught to be a word in the dictionary, because Texans
believe the world revolves around the the Lone Star.
11) Apparently, the only reason Texas was on the losing side of the Civil
War was b/c they had to rely on 12 other states.
12) Stop touching me... People like to touch you in Austin. "How ya'll
doin today?" with a poke on the arm.
13) When I go into a store, I do not want to talk to the cashier until I
am ready to pay. And I do not want to hear their life story.
14) Realtors get insulted when you tell them "Let's move on. I don't like
it."
15) What the hell is a mud tax? Please tell me they don't tax us on MUD?
16) We went into about 10 bars in Austin, saw plenty of cowboy hats, but
not one line dancer. What gives?
All tongue in cheek... Yes, there is a good possibility this New Yorker
will be moving to (gulp) Texas within the next 6 months.... How the hell
am
I going to get the Midget down there...
