A Texan dies....

[Fishkiller]

A Texan died and ascended into Heaven. St. Peter met him and welcomed him saying "You will certainly enjoy Paradise." The Texan shook his head sadly and said "I always thought that TEXAS was Paradise." St. Peter said "Well, let me show you what we have to offer." He took the Texan to an area that had a beautiful river flowing through it with wildlife and flowers everywhere. "Isn't this beautiful?" said St. Peter. The Texan replied, "Yes, but not as pretty as the area around SAN ANTONIO." Somewhat ruffled, St. Peter took him to another area where there were rolling hills, whitetail deer and bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush everywhere. "Now" said St. Peter "Have you ever seen anything so wonderful?" The Texan paused and said "Yes, it is beautiful but it does not hold a candle to the TEXAS HILL COUNTRY in the springtime." Becoming more upset, St. Peter then took the Texan to a beautiful white beach, with gentle waves, and an azure sky. "Now have you seen anything this beautiful in Texas" said St. Peter. The Texan smiled and said "I guess you've never been to SOUTH PADRE ISLAND". At this point, St. Peter took the Texan to a large rock. On the side of the rock was a huge iron door. St. Peter opened the door and they stepped into an elevator and started going down. As they descended, it grew more and more hot. When the elevator door opened, it revealed the fires of damnation-Hell. St. Peter said, "Now, have you got anything in Texas that can top that?" The Texan thought a moment and shook his head. "No, but I know a couple of old boys from HOUSTON that can put that thing out for you."

My father new Red Adair. He was an interesting man.

I do love the spring in Texas. 100+ acre pastures and nothing but bluebonnets.

Hi ya Fishkiller,

Judging by yer story, it's dang nice to see that some people really do understand us Texans.

As Steel95s states it:

no brag...just fact!

and the redbuds. Soon we'll have the wildflower trails celebrations and I hear this year Jackson Brown is comming in for the parade. Last year our local boy, Don Hendley was here.

From "music city" (the little one, not austin) have a great spring celebration and even if you're not from Texas, come on down, you're all welcome.

native texan,

If you love Texas so much, then why the heck are you so far from water?

Or are you saying that Texas is better than water (or is it sex?)

On the other hand - my LDS is 10 minutes North - and Lake Travis is a further 20 minutes from there. - - and Aquarena Springs is 40 minutes South. It's tough waiting out that 1.5 hours from work to div'n.

AND - with respect to any rumors about Texas, water, sex and UT and/or SWT co-eds - - - The 5th is pleaded!!!
