On the road again

Saturday, July the 23rd, 2005

I’ll keep this short, and informative. I leave early tomorrow morning on yet another trip, to Austin, Texas. This is hopefully the last time I need to be away from home for the next few months to come. I kinda miss my bed. Anyway, in case you aren’t of the assumption Texas is some hick state with their large vehicles (with ornamental horns no less), cowboys and a weak spot for steak, here are some fun Texas facts:

» Rodeo is the official state sport of Texas, though High School Football is more popular.
» In Texarkana owners of horses may not ride them at night without tail lights.
» It is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts in Mesquite, Texas.
» In Texas, it’s illegal to put graffiti on someone else’s cow.

OK, I’ll stop now.
