Since I moved back to Texas in 2011 after 25 years of living in Los Angeles, I have tried to acclimate and these are some of the things I have learned so far:
1. In almost every family unit, if there is a boy and a girl, regardless of their given name, they will be nicknamed, “Sissy” and “Bubba.”
2. Whether it’s a wedding, funeral, or birthday, the buffet will most likely consist of barbecued beef brisket, beans, sausage, potato salad and cole slaw (acronym BBSPC) UNLESS, it is crawfish season. Then it’s boiled crawfish, potatoes, corn on the cob and sausage.
3. When you order iced tea in a restaurant you are always asked “sweet or unsweet”? Sort of like paper or plastic?
4. Trucks or SUVs are a necessity. Cars are optional.

Yeah good ole “betcha hot as hell”Texas. I love Texas, but , I don’t do the outdoors for at least a quarter of the year due to the killer called heat. Bless the inventor of that awesome cool airconditioning. The other half of the 3/4 of the year those nasty ferocious creatures called mo-skeet-toes keep me inside. The rest of the year is a hit or miss. If it doesn’t rain, or the wind blowing so hard you can’t keep your head on then I love the out doors, as long as I can have my bed to sleep in at night.
Gosh sounds like an old lady wrote this. Maybe?
Still love Texas cause that’s where all the people I hold the nearest and dearest to my heart live.
