this day in Texas History

[Skuzzy]

<snip>hehehe, sorry, couldn't resist that one.  I like Texas, really!  Its the Texans I could do without  (ps. that too, my friend, was an attempt at humor)

Just to clear this up.  Those supposed Texans you could do without are not natives to Texas.  They are transplants from other states, and yeah, we could do without them too.

To celebrate, I watched the movie "Alamo".

It really is a pretty good movie...and I'm not even a Texan.

Sorry Shuff, I wasn't trying to get you (or I) Skuzzinated. I wasn't intending to be offensive Skuzzy, I apologize.

What's with all the rule 2's?

Anyway, the one thing I noticed about Texans is that they always made sure you knew they were Texans, just in case you thought they were mere ordinary Americans. Texans are still very independent.

Texans let you know they are Texans to save you from having to ask. 

Never ask a man if he is a Texan. 
If he is, he will tell you.
If he is not, you will only embarrass him!

On a lighter note... When I was a boy, I totally had the hots for Tanya Tucker.

Texas When I die
By Ed Bruce (I think)
As Performed By Tanya Tucker

When I die I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas,
Texas is as close as I've been.

New York couldn't hold my attention
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home.

When I die I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas,
Texas is as close as I've been.

I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone.

When I die I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas,
Texas is as close as I've been.

When I die I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas,
Texas is as close as I've been.

No no no Repo I know you were just asking a reasonable question and I gave a reasonable answer. Some take offense to terms we've used for better than a century. I was not trying to be offensive either. We use that term regularly here and so I thought nothing of it. <S>

It's easy to spot a northerner transplanted into Texas . . .

Heh, you can have it, never liked the place anyway (the wife worked there for a bit)......................besides, Texans already own everything around here    We wont fight ya, but we will accept (over) payment.    You can battle it out with the Californians (er....wait a minute, I am ((was)) one of those)  Please dont tie me to a stump   

Hehe. I like the drive up to the hotel and the surrounding area, especially on a scooter. Nice views.
My brother would like to buy the place I`m sure, in order to doze it down.
He spent his honeymoon to his first loving bride in the hotel. The same one who ran off with his best friend while he was in Nam.
