I spent 5 months in early 2004 living in the true “Heart of Texas”, a few miles from Independence where the Texas constitution was signed, Sam Houston used to attend church, in Washington County with the historic “Independence Trail”.
I think Texas is a great state, or I would not have chosen it for building my business. But I do have to disagree with the fact things are bigger in Texas. Simply put, things are more excessive in Texas.
Now Texans, don’t get mad at me, I had folks from “the Heart” laugh about my perception and call it okay… unlike an accidental joke about the Alamo.
There are tons of Bluebell and Indian Paintbrush flowers in the spring, the steak falls off your dinner plate (when you order a medium size), and it comes with a stack of toast, “side” bowl of gravy, and a buffet bar (full of breaded fish, veggies, and anything else you can batter) … oh and did you want a potato or fries?
Excessive amounts of beer (I was told that Washington County, TX has the highest consumption of alcohol in Texas, possibly the whole USA), too much driving drunk as a byproduct, when Texans get mad they get “mad as hell”, and their love is truly larger than life.
Sure it’s bigger in Texas - bigger steaks, fists, hearts, and bar tabs…
God Bless Texas.
