IG, I did some research and found that Texas is that place over near Mexico where everyone is fixated on having things that are larger than everyone else's.
I used to think nothing good came out of Texas, but then I met my lovely wife in a little town commonly referred to as "Wacko" while stationed at Ft. Hood. I guess I was wrong.
Oh, there's also this little town called McGregor that has a little restaurant by the name of "The Coffee Shop". If you are ever passing thru the area in the early morning, stop by there and walk over to the corner where all of the old guys are sitting around chatting and drinking coffee. You'll see a guy named Rex that reminds you of a little bit younger version of Santa and Pat, one of the local pastors, insurance agent, and county judge, and a whole slew of other fellows. Sit down, order a cup of coffee and tell 'em Murph sent ya. They're all some if the nicest and most patriotic folks you'll ever ask to meet.
