Texans aren’t used to driving in snow or on ice and are dangerous when they try to do so. They drive either too fast or too slow. They don’t clear their cars of snow. They don’t turn their lights on in the dark or fog.
Half the AM radio stations broadcast Rush Limbaugh. A quarter of the other are religious talk. And the last quarter are sports talk.
Two anti-Obama billboards, one of a smiling George W. Bush with the tag, “Do You Miss Me Yet?”, and the other of Obama with the tag, “Socialist By Conduct.” Two other billboards simply American flags, though in context the implication seems clear.
The only NPR FM station is classical music.
Wherever you are, you don’t have to go very far to get liquor or beer. Maybe a bit further to get wine.
Texans consider 40° to be “cold.” They don’t seem to be much concerned about the wind chill factor.
There are only two rest areas (restrooms and picnic tables), but there are four picnic areas (no restrooms).
There are very few in the media who speak with a Texas accent. There are very few in restaurants or gas stations who don’t.
