Happy Texas Independence Day

A big thank you goes out to the crew of East Texas Matters for putting together the fun fact list and allowing you to see it in all its splendor. As for me, to celebrate Texas Independence Day I think I'll go out, shop at HEB, and make myself a dinner complete with chicken fried steak, sweet tea, a small side of chili, and for dessert have a Blue Bell and Dr. Pepper float. Perhaps I should top it off with watching The Alamo. Which one though? There are two films about and both titled "The Alamo." One directed by John Wayne in 1960 and another from 2004 directed by John Lee Hancock...you're right, watch both. Happy Texas Independence Day, Y'all!
