Wonders of Texas unique, incomparable
There are things about Texas that are distinctly and exactly "Texas," that are only Texas: our little Alamo, filled with men beset with love for their great endless brown land; the 10-gallon hats and snakeskin boots that you don't see enough of anymore; the lone star, white against blue and red, unabashedly whipping 100 feet above car dealerships lining the interstate; the ridiculous "heavy-duty" trucks people insist on; Friday night football; real ranches with guns, cattle, spit, moustaches and beehives; signs on the roadside that say it all with three letters: BBQ.Jarritos, pecan pie and those mammoth, cool avocados we've got most of the year; brisket sandwiches and baked potatoes smothered in soupy hot barbeque sauce; Willie Nelson, salsa verde and the big bottles of Sol you can barely wrap your hand around; big hair, big "y'alls," big space and big, earnest Texas-sized smiles to fill it.
