An Australian cowboy hat? Okay, as long as it's not flap-up on one side! LOL!

No, it's pretty much a standard-looking cowboy hat   :-)

Resistols are lower cost than Stetson's, I think. Don't know, up there. You have plenty cowboys so you should have hats. Rodeo is going on here. Big deal. $1M purse. We were voted best rodeo this year.

Thanks!  I love the rodeo and go to the events around here as often as I can.

I should probably tell you that we don't wear our cowboy hats everyday. And we don't all of us have oil wells, either! ;o)

I apologize, I didn't mean to invoke a caricature.  I only wanted to show respect to the State.   :-)  Everyone that I've ever met who is from Texas has been EXCEPTIONALLY polite and courteous, and they were never wearing hats in my presence.  I'll make sure to only wear it to the rodeo unless any Texans advise otherwise   :-)

Oh, no apologies needed! I was poking fun at all the caricatures ppl have had about Texas, not at you!!!

Tejas means friendly, as you no doubt know. We love company. Gotta say though, we're somewhat rowdy in San Antonio. We party from Fiesta [April] through Diez y seis [September.]

Aside: I don't really like when it's called San Antone, but I don't like when people say Ha-wa-ya for Hawaii or nuke-u-lar for nuclear. I don't like when someone is called 'invalid.' There's nothing about handicaps that 'invalidates' a person. Quirks of Frou.
