Happy Birthday to The Glorious Republic of Texas!

Born and raised a 3rd generation Texan and DAMNED PROUD OF IT!

I enjoyed telling an English friend that Texas was inhabited by humans while England was still under an ice sheet.

Go look it up if you want to. I'm too lazy.

One part of my family came to Texas in the 1830’s. Hard scrabble cotton farmers in Limestone County back when one was at risk of Comanche or Kiowa raids. Fought against Mexicans, Yankees, Comanche in defense of Texas. I hold my Texan legacy close to my heart. We were a nation all our own.

I just remembered, I wasn't born in Texas.  I was born in Illinois because, as in infant, I wanted to be near my mother.  But I totally applaud those of you that made the crawl.
