A Little Piece of Home

Well, my fellow Texans, you have made the news out here in California. I was watching the news tonight and a story ran about a man from Tyler that is trying to get into the Guiness Book of Records for the longest leg hair. I thought it must be a pretty slow news night if that is the only interesting story they could come up with. Then the news caster wondered aloud if all Texans were like that. I wasn't sure if I needed to be offended or if I should be proud to be from the great state where everything is bigger. I guess all I can say is "Keep up the good work!"

Isn't that funny!? I have never heard of a man's leg hair growing "lengthy." How odd. And the thing about Texans is goofy too. I think people think Texas is a foreign country. I've had people ask me if we all live on ranches with horses.

Jill, they think Texas is a foreign country because we act like it’s a sovereign country. I was traveling in Germany once on a tour and the tour guide asked where each person was from. There was a wide range of home countries from Australia to the US. When it came to me, without thinking, I said Texas. Everyone laughed. The tour guide said that's just the way Texans are!
