   thoughts from houston:

   You know, people in tex-ass seem to be incredibly proud of the fact 
   that they live here. As the miller lite can
   says, "BE TRUE TO TEX-ASS, SHE'S TRUE TO YOU"

   One sign: "covenant church, where it's FUN to be saved!"
   One person: "I'm fixin' to go to the mall, y'all comin'?"
   One bumper sticker: "No wimps in TEXAS"

   So far: hung out with ballerinas. found a good taco truck (just like 
   home). helped some guys change a tire.
   shopped at value village. tried on cowboy boots. took pictures of 
   freight trains. got lost. drank beer. went
   looking for an arcade.

   Chat:
   jem: i took pictures of churches in converted garages and old liquor 
   stores and front lawns and the backs of
   trucks. texans will put a church anywhere, it appears.
   wb: interesting
   wb: have you met many texans
   wb: heh
   jem: i've met two kinds mostly...white suburban 18 year old ballet 
   dancers and the hot mexican boys at the
   taco truck where i've been eating every day
