East Texians squabble and cuss at West Texians---but nobody else is allowed too.
NE Texas is a strange place. Dallas claims it is in NE Texas but most in that area scoff and deny.
Speaking of Dallas--which is a strange conversation amongst Texans--it seems to think that it speaks for Texans. Folks there are pretty self contained and have the attitude that if you don't live in Dallas you are some kind of Hick.
I speak of that attitude from a job interview I had up there when I was fresh out of school. I don't think that ol boy appreciated my answers when he questioned me about my political beliefs. Dallas has always been super conservative to the point of being akward about anybody elses opinions. If you don't act like a Dallasonian you are backwards.
Ft Worth is just about as opposite as Europeans and Asians from Dallas.
Where I grew up--in the 40's--there was an attitude you could only find in the old South. I never really understood that attitude.
What I would like is a place about a tankfull of gas from my closest neighbor . That is tongue-in-cheek. perhaps it would be better to say that my neighbors wish that.
I knew an ol boy once--he was a Cowboy and managed ranches for rich folks--he said that a working man only has one right--to quit a job whenever he wanted too--and--he aught to do that on a fairly regular basis.
I like heat and humidity and have a great disdain for any season that gets below 70 degrees. I'll take the Texas Gulf Coast, the bugs and the skeeters.
Beer didn't originate in Texas but we got some as soon as we could.
Blessings
