Such is life. Had I known more about Texas, I never would have moved here ... that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Sorry, Rickey, for the cultural clash. For that's what it is. Texas has a unique culture, and refuses to give it up. Funny how nobody has problems with there being a French culture, German culture, Latin American culture, (Allah be merciful) Islamic culture, Indian culture, ect... But a Texas Culture? Rather than the rest of the US saying that Texas has a unique culture and that's Ok, people move in from the outside and immediately start complaining that Texas is not like back home, and start trying to convert the local heathens. This has been going on for the last 100 years, and the local heathens tune the missionaries out, much to the annoyance of the outsiders. All they want is to left alone....
Lest you think this is just a Texas thing, our next door neighbor, Louisana, has it's own, highly unique, culture. You don't see Texans telling them how to live their lives...
I apologise for the rant. I never should have said anything.....
