At the end of this month I am moving from Minnesota to Texas. And I can see myself supporting Texas secession, if it got to that point.

Welcome fellow new Texan — I close on my house in Irving end of this month and move a short while later. I am here in Texas now doing a walk through of my new place.
Escaping Los Angeles.
Welcome to Texas, fellow patriot.
Make sure your AC is in working order before you get here. Ya'll are gonna need it. While ya'll are headed this way, load up a train of tanker cars and bring some of that extra water ya'll have up thar.
Let me be the first to say “welcome to Texas”!
Welcome to Texas! We were a Republic once and can do it again if necessary.
When you get down here, be sure to make note of an unusual phenomenon. (It may not be so evident in urban areas as it is out here in the country.) That is the fact that people use Texas motifs to decorate their property. You will see many, many Texas Lone Stars on houses, usually on the front wall by the door. (They can be either in or on a circle with the phrase “State of Texas” or “Texas,” as in the state seal, or without the circle. My own Lone Star is 3 feet in diameter with “Texas” on the top of the circle and “1836” on the bottom. It is hanging prominently on the side of the house and can be seen as visitors approach.) You will also see the Texas State Flag (decorating mailboxes, painted on metal roofs, etc.) as well as the state itself (the geographical representation).
On a recent road trip from Northeast Texas to Galveston down US 59, Mr. Claret and I lost track of how many of these examples we noticed. They were everywhere. We also noticed many people flying the Texas flag only. In my opinion, it is a silent message that people identify themselves as Texans first and foremost and that it is very important to them. After all, when was the last time anyone saw a mailbox decorated with the Massachusetts state flag or the New Jersey state seal as wall art? LOL!
