Texas - What America used to be

Nail - meet hammer.

I've been telling people that since I moved the family here from Cali three years ago.

I moved here from my native state of Louisiana. I had the privilege of living here for 5 years when I was a kid. I hated moving back to Louisiana, and came back here 5 days after I got my college degree.

Don't feel bad about not being a native Texan. Here in Austin, I frequently find natives less Texan than I am. Besides, Texas' greatest heroes were not native Texans.

I have lived in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Austin is the first place I have found limp wristed, bed wetting "Texans" with Texas accents. I still cannot get used to it.
