Like Travis, Bowie, Crockett, Houston and many others, Americans by birth, Texans by choice.
I’ve lived in California, Georgia, the deep South but Texas is my home. I’ve left Texas four times. I always came back. I don’t plan on leaving again. I plan on dieing here.
I'll admit there's one thing I do miss about Pennsylvania that happens only very rarely here in the Lone Star State: strikes! I always got energized by getting in the face of union thugs and fearlessly crossing their picket lines, looking the goons squarely in the eye. For example, I would travel out of my way during the drive home to shop at Kroger when a strike was in progress just to show the unionistas that they couldn't intimidate me. Of course, they eventually got their way with Kroger -- that Ohio-based grocery store chain closed all their stores in Pennsylvania.
