Yep, there's water in the Texas pictures now. Ask Tony Blair if he noticed it is dry here. *LOL*

Been there!

I have traveled around the world and when a foreigner asks me where I am from, my reply is always, TEXAS! Others in the group say the USA, and the foreigners always gravitate to the Texans and they have hundreds of questions. BTW, when I was in Indonesia last year, they were still watching re-runs of DALLAS! We were in a little cafe, where the girls were huddled around a little portable b&w tv, aluminum foil on the antennas watching DALLAS!

A location which deserves to be acknowledged ( unfortunately it is long gone ) is in downtown Round Rock, behind the last bank Sam Bass robbed. It was a small frame building, covered with corrugated sheet metal, only external sign was ( I think ) "Tavern", perhaps with the Tejano owner's name. My father-in-law took me in there once ( approx 1972-73, about 1-2 years after his daughter & I were married ) for a quick beer-but really more for the only funny thing I ever saw him do, for my benefit. My very Texan, Germanic father-in-law ( Ray Lee Whisenant ) was devoid of humor, a graduate of Patton's Third Army Air Corps, looked like John Wayne ( really a bit more attractive & threatening ) & looked, to me, to be approx 8 feet tall & 4 feet wide. He smiled though, when I spotted the notice on the wall-"NO WOMEN"!!!! The tavern owner had long ago discovered the secret to a peaceful bar was simple & painless. I would pay cash money for a photo of the sign.
