Texas

Was at a gun show this weekend.  After Sat. I was ready to leave Texas.  One after another of the "Ted Cruzites" babbling a brook of insane blather.  Super "patriots" who want to secede, eliminate "government handouts", eliminate government, put an end to all this "equality" stuff, and just trust both "the market" and our corporations.  Aging white men who hate change  --  and the fact they are getting old and their lives never matched up to any dream they ever had.

Then, on Sunday we met one after another of the REAL Texas "good old boys".  Kind, funny, good folks who are ready to give a helping hand to any of their friends  --  the kind of folks I met when I would visit friends down here.  Really good people with no pretense, no hatred, no putting folks in categories.  Folks who judge you by what you do, how you act, and if you stand by your word.  Folks where actions speak volumes  --  and the rest is crap.

Once again, I am content with my choice of Texas.
