It's been too long since I've been off the interstate in Texas. Do people there still pull over onto the shoulder and let you pass when you approach them from behind on a two lane highway? Only state I've seen it done in.

Absolutely!

The first time I went to Ennis (inaugural race) I was amazed at this too. Only being removed from my native New York for a few years, where nobody gets out of the way for anything, it was quite a surprise when I ran up on someone and they pulled off. I wasn't sure what he doing at first.

Yep, Texas IS the greatest state in the Union. Absolutely no question, IMO.

Born in Indiana, and lived in a LOT of other places over the years, but I thank God every day we decided to settle in Texas, for good.

Everything you state about Texas friends is true, Kelly.

And that ain't even the half of it...

I am sure I could think of several to add... but this one is my favorite;

FRIEND: Will tell you that they hope your horse get better soon.

TEXAS FRIEND: Will drop everything while you are taking care of your horse and run to the vet five miles away for meds, and you never asked.

I remember some comedian asking "How do you know you're from Texas?"

Answer: When your richest friend moves, you have to go help them take the wheels off of their new house.

That is all sooooooo true! What I really like is when you are driving on a 2 lane highway and as you approach someone coming in the opposite direction, they will wave at you! It is so friendly!

I wave at everyone in my neighborhood too!

 

[Nitrohaulic]

I moved to a town so small that some people wave at everyone who goes by. That IS very cool. Definitely the town that time forgot.

Yep a benefit of having nice wide shoulders !

Sorry I was out of town Ron but we have got to get together one day.
I have a phone number for the Big Mike Burkhart Nostalgia FC that was advertising for Match Races at the Autorama.
I'll be in town May 7th , planning run to NM for a few days but hopefully not the week like last time.
You have my number !

I'm not from Texas, but can I add one?

Texas neighbor will shoot your intruders for you if you are away from home.

Wish we could do that here.

You forgot the important part Paul!



AND BE ACQUITED FOR DOING IT!
