Your brick story

I've lived in many places, but Texas is the only state I've ever had to apologize for. My family is embarrassed that I live here and make excuses for me. But I love it! I hate the stereotype of loud Texans and ugly Americans. Not everyone is a bible-thumper or a red-neck or a neo-conservative. Not everyone voted for "him". Some of us care about the environment, are horrified by our current government's actions, and try to do what we can to make things better and right.

    Good for you - don't judge a book by its cover! I have a family member who is about to move to Texas from Canada so i am going to gift her this brick if that is ok?

    Of course it's OK Roze. Where in Texas is she moving? I live in smallish town in Central Texas north of Austin. It's beautiful here. (all the pictures in the brick were taken nearby). I've also lived in a tiny town in the Chihuahua desert in West Texas, which was a totally different (but still positive) experience.

    Hmm, Thorn you're quite a dab hand with your pictures. I know you are a Tecchie but you must be in Graphic Design or some such.

    Roze, Dallas is wonderful! They have a LUSH store there. It's also about three hours north of Austin, where most of the liberals in the state hang out.

    Brown Bear, thank you for the compliment. I fix computer hardware. I was a tech writer for a while, but I've never done anything in graphic arts. I do enjoy creating bricks. I think of what I want to say first, and then I look for pictures that will compliment the words. I'm glad that you enjoy them.

    The only thing I know about Texas is that Two Nice Girls hail from there and I love their music - probably I would love lots of the music from Texans but I just don't know they are from there!
