Happy Birthday, Texas!


Happy 184th birthday to the country that brought you 85mph speed limits, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, the Alamo, Big Tex, fried everything at the State Fair, Whataburger, Willie Nelson, the perfect Pecan Pie, the Astrodome, Big Bend, Hank Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys, Ernest Tubb, San Jacinto Monument, the battleship USS Texas, a border (not a state line) between it and Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico, a long border with Mexico, the Texas Rangers, the Houston Astros, the Cowboys of Dallas, and other things too many to mention.
