Right on! I've spent a fair bit of my life in Texas...living there, visiting, and doing business. Great place!

Never been that far south myself. Know a few people there. Heard it's pretty quiet since Santa Anna settled down.

I do have the hat. Might get down there one of these days Like to at least say I been there.

Santa Anna was a dick of a dictator... So Texans stood up and took the place back from Mexico. We stand ready to defend freedom still today.

"Don't mess with Texas" is a lot more than anti-littering slogan.
