Why, yes, Ma'am, I am!

Loved your little animation slide show up above the "Dubya Walkin'" one - it has my birthplace, my marriage place and one of my job places all in one little neat package!

I'd like to add ... This is Texas ... the Lone Star State of Texas ... this is the Giant ... Land I Love!

~~~
Just like a sleeping giant sprawling in the sun,
In one great hand the Rio Grande
In the other, Galveston.
Where oil wells laugh at angels
And buzzards wheel above,
This, then, is Texas--
Lone Star State of Texas.
This, then, is Texas--Land I love.

My ma was born in Dallas, Father in Ft. Worth.
You can bet your boots I got my roots
In the good old Texas earth.
Just see the silver dollars
Falling from above.
This, then, is Texas--Lone Star State of Texas
This, then, is Texas--Land I love.

God made these lonely acres where I ride alone,
But the devil cursed this land with thirst
And he bleached it like a bone.
One day a wild tornado
Next a gentle dove.
This, then, is Texas--Lone Star State of Texas
This, then, is Texas--Land I love

Song Title: Giant
Music-Dmitri Tiomkin
Lyrics-Paul Francis Webster, 1956
