The police have tightened up things now, but on the Friday ights before the big Texas-OU game anything could happen. People would throw mattresses out of tall hotel buildings, go swim naked in the very shallow Dealy Plaza pond, leave their cars parked in the middle of streets, and everybody would have a great time because we knew what to expect.
The poor Kenyan, though, heard screaming, yelling, and saw what he thought was rioting in the streets. He locked himself in his bedroom because he thought a revolution was going on, and the hotel manager had to beg him to unlock his door the next day and come out. The poor guy was scared stiff, but it was only the annual Texas-OU weekend!:)
We're not anything near as bad as Europeans think, we just have our own customs.:)
It seems that every time something about Texas is posted here on FR, it's about something GOOD or otherwise appealing happening there. :-)
It really makes me want to visit....and perhaps live there. It seems to be far more of a sane place than the People's Republic of Seattle where I (unfortunately) currently have to be.
Lubbock being recently named one of the top Conservative cities in the USA is another feather in Texas' 10 gallon hat.
My impression is that the Texas ladies typically don't walk around all day with a militant-feminist scowling chip on their shoulders either. "sigh".
Oh well, maybe someday :-)
Oh well. The poor Kenyan .... but when I think of the L.A.-riots I saw in TV, I understand him. :-)
