We Texans stopped telling tall tales when reality started outpacing parody and hyperbole.

I served in the Marines with a guy from Texas.

To hear him talk Texas was Heaven on Earth. Bragged about Texas everyday all the time. He was eat up with Texas. It got tiresome after a while. Other guys from Texas weren’t so vociferous about it.......................

My grandfather grew corn here in Central Texas. One summer it was so hot the corn popped in the fields. Stupid cows thought it was snow and froze to death.

Here’s some Texas lore you may want to know, Greg Abbott is a member of the WEF. He’s not doing anything of substance to stop illegal border crossings for a reason. He’s a globalist sad to say. But don’t take my word, look it up.

“The Texanist: Why Did Texans Stop Telling Tall Tales?”

They stopped when the Democrats started spouting tales that put the Texans to shame.
