Amarillo.
It was pretty much too windy or cold to do anything outside. Ever.
When it was ok to be outside, you were dodging tornados.
South Texas was a new experience for me....
Poinsettias grow outside - as bushes? You all get in rivers here? You call that a river? Why does everyone eat outside? Its thanksgiving and I can wear shorts outside? How is it this damn foggy at night? Could it be any hotter? Its a quarter inch of snow, WHY is the town shut down? Whats a low water crossing? You cant really drive 100 mph on 77 between Kingsville and the Valley, can you? How do you call 55 degrees and drizzle WINTER? Why does everyone have pictures of their family in a field of bluebonnets? Thats not a taco, thats a burrito -becasue its in a flour tortilla - yes it is! Youre 24 and the only time you ever saw snow was January 1985? Whats so damn spacial about that 2 story Whataburger in Corpus? Why tamales and christmas? What the hell is backstrap and why is Nov 1st so important? Whats up with all the spanish? Whats a blue bell? My god the humidity....
So yeah, it was an experience coming to this part of the state. I consider myself a Texan by default. Whiel I was technically born IN Texas, the panhandle is more (gulp) Oklahoma than Texas.
