Just the way things are in Texas

Stumbled across this while reading borepatch.blogspot.com. It’s from six years ago, but I’m sure nothing has changed in the philosophy. 

“I remember shortly after moving there (to Texas), asking an employee at Cabella’s if he had any recommendations for a gun safe. ‘Well, son,’ he said to me in complete seriousness, ‘m’boy moved away to college a few years ago so I reinforced the door frame and just turned the whole guest room into a gun vault. Have ya thought ‘bout doing sumthin like that?’ Good God, I thought. And then, when we moved into a new house this year, it had a walk in closet turned into gun vault. Welcome to Texas.”

I’ve been living in Florida for going on seven years. One of these days I will return to Texas in a fancy urn and become part of the land and maybe rain will send me into a creek and a lake. If not, the wind will blow me around for a while. That will be good.
