Yeah, but let's wait 'til after the storm. She might be talking out the other side of her mouth.

You've got to remember, this is Texas.  You don't ask for more than you need.

A lot of you may remember the famous Texas Ranger boast attributed to Captain W.J. McDonald, "One riot, one Ranger."  That's the attitude.  But, when you need help, you know its coming (unless its 1836 and you're inside the Alamo :-) )

That's because us Texans "remember the Alamo" and will make sure that never happens again.

Texans don't have to ask if their neighbors will come to help - they know they will.

Hey, Davy Crockett, aka John Wayne, KNEW it was hopeless to defend the Alamo, but did it anyway to give Sam Houston time to get his troops together at San Jacinto.
