There is more state pride and independent attitude among Texans.
True. My daughter’s boyfriend came to Texas for a visit. The first question he had was, “Why are there so many Texas flags?”
LOL. I had been living and working in Texas for about three years when a co-worker bequeathed upon me a great honor. He said, “Boy, you been here long enough and speak the right language. You can now call yourself a Texan.” Previously, I was “a Yankee.” lol
I actually understood, accepted, thanked him and took it as a high compliment.
