Texas folks love BBQ
My bride actually used to do that as a teenager here in Chesapeake, VA!
One "drives" cattle on horseback. Ergo, one can use the "drive-up" window on horseback. You go, girls!
Edit: Know what is great after a hard day on the trail? A boric acid eye wash, that's what!
Mine too. She grew up near Fairfax, VA. Funny that northern VA used to be horse country.
I remember cattle right off Rt 50 just west of Fairfax Circle
I think they call those Cattlelacs,
I also noticed those are english hunt seat saddles. In Texas they would tell them to put a real saddle on those horses. That pic is probably from northern VA.
I enjoyed reading all the comments about Texas. A real mixed bag of positive and negative thoughts. If it weren't for the Dallas Cowboys there would probably be more positive comments.
Those of you stationed in El Paso didn't get to see much of what makes Texas great. Although you were just a short drive from the Big Bend - which is awesome.
Those of you stationed in San Antonio did get to experience much of what makes Texas great.
What I love about Texas:
1. People
2. Culture - both the western and Mexican cultures
3. The diversity - from the urban in Dallas to the Western in Fort Worth. From the forests in East Texas- the desert in West Texas - the Gulf in the south - the mountains in far west and the beautiful hill country in central texas.
4. I love the BBQ - but I would rather eat at Sprayberry's BBQ in Newnan.
5. I love the small West Texas towns - especially the local diners that serve great chicken fried steak and cheese enchiladas.
6. Hunting is great. Deer, Turkey, hogs and we still have wild quail.
7. Women are beautiful - but certainly no more beautiful than those Georgia girls.
8. I miss Brunswick stew and grits for breakfast. You can occasionally find grits - but no one has heard of Brunswick stew - and I mean no one!
Texas is awesome. But there is still something special about crossing that Georgia state line on I-20 about 3 times a year or landing at Hartsville - Jackson another 2-3 times that makes me feel I'm really home.
My wife and two kids are 100% Texan. So they don't get that same feeling I get when we are visiting family in Carrollton, Bowden, Newnan, Whitesburg, Cartersville and even Wedowee, AL.
I love Texas - but Georgia sure is a very special place.
@texdawg Your comment made me remember the small eating? places by a highway that had a concrete pad for dancing. They seem to be everywhere in central (San Antonio) Texas. And by small, what I recall is something like a concession stand at a drive in movie place (if that registers) or perhaps a concession stand at kid's baseball field complex. There would be lights on wires to illuminate the area, and picnic tables to eat. Go Dawgs!
My dad always wants Brunswick stew when he comes back to GA. Boiled peanuts too. I like brisket over pork bbq now. Seemed to be some strong feels toward Texas. Was suprising to me
Borax’s chemical name is Sodium tetraborate decahydrate, not sodium borate. That’s just an improperly used “generic” that is misleading to the public. I am an EPA registrant of a boric acid product and can tell you there are significant differences Here is the 1993 epa registration submitted by US Borax for an jnsecticide label. Note the DANGER signal word. The registration lapsed after 18 months for nonpayment because it is not legal to sell an insecticide to the public with a Danger word on the label. They can sell it as laundry detergent where it carries a CAUTION statement, but the minute they say anything about killing bugs it becomes too toxic for public use

[Cannot quote as I am getting a Body is too long (lengthy) message]
@Bankwalker Probably could use the same label for common table salt - sodium chloride.
This is from the second TOXNET document I provided earlier:
Other Chemical/Physical Properties:
Once a tetra-, di-, meta-, ortho-, or pyroborate salt dissolves in a buffered solution, one borate cannot be distinguished on chemical or toxicological grounds, from any one of the others. /Borate/

"feelings toward Texas"
This is not a stereotype, but a gross omission so far...
Buc-ee's is the best gas station with the best snacks in all the country. People talk about Wawa, but there's nothing in Wawa as good as beaver nuggets
Okay, I'll bite. Beaver nuggets?
about to buy some now
@Kasey - That means I could have put the pic of Homer drooling up four times tonight. I love those kinds of snacks. Guess I'm just gonna make some crepes w/ Nutella. I've got an uncontrollable urge - and no Waffle House.
When I was on vacation in Texas last summer I bought two bags bc I knew I'd eat one before I brought them home to NYC
On the other hand, they call corn dogs "corny dogs." I cringed every time I heard that when I lived there.
