I wasn’t born in Texas, but grew up learning about real heros like Davy Crockett, Col. Travis and Sam Houston. I came to San Antonio in 2001 and the very first thing I wanted to do was visit the Alamo. Sacred ground. I left Texas a couple of times but always came back.
Sure, we have heat and water restrictions and flying bugs the size of Volkswagens. And don’t forget the.....”far aints”. But freedom and the pioneer spirit are alive and well here.
Texas is Home.
I just went to Texas over the weekend. Just crossing the state line made me feel “home” in many ways. Even though I was in West Texas I still felt a sense of relief. I am from Central Texas and will be back there next year to stay. It can’t get here soon enough.
We need another addition to the conversion chart:
km to miles
miles to West Texas miles (these are longer)
