You Know You're In Texas When.....

Yeah, it's quite a place! Seeing it from an Interstate isn't quite enough.



You know, I just got back from spending the last two days in Gruene, so I'm kinda Texas Proud right now! Man, nothing is TX like floating down the Guadalupe, spending your evening at the Grist Mill in the presence of Gruene Hall and some other serious "recent" TX history (1870s till present).

Its been a couple of years since I've been to the Alamo or to Washington on the Brazos. I might need to take a couple of day motorcycle trips in the next couple of months.

Ever been to Dublin and had real Dr. Pepper?

Oh you're missing out. Dublin Dr. Pepper is so much better than the corn surp crap they sell now. Of course you can get it in 12oz cans or in glass bottles.B|

Ever time I go through the area I buy a couple of cases. Ever time Doc Stewart comes down from there (he lives in Dublin) he'll bring me a case or two. Oh man I love that stuff, too bad the rest of the bottling plants bought into the corporate crap.

NICE.

I've been by the old brewery before, and obviously I've been by the old Pearle brewery as well. How cool would it be to own one of those old building on those sites? Turn it into a loft apartment or a cool loft style office building.

That, would be something. There's just something about those old buildings that to me, beats the hell out of the glass and steel we see so much of today. Arounf Wharton, there's some old buildings there that are really cool.
Everything is 'big' money, these days. I had an old cowboy tell me one time that he had seen a lot of changes in his time and never liked a damned one of them! :D

Yup. There's a reason why my dream business is to be opened in an old TX downtown in an old building. Obviously some rebuilding inside the building may need to be completed to make my business happen, but that can happen. I now have 20 years to make it happen for my second career.:)

Thanks. The fact that I've already started to get things moving to give me the opportunity to make my dream come true 20 years from now, will give me the upperhand.:)
Life is just a series of goals. If you don't spend your life working towards your goals, whatever they may be, then what was your life? A flat line of events with no major points outside of random chance. That's not good enough for me. I don't want to be rich, I only want to be happy. Money doesn't make you happy, following your dreams and having love in your life makes you happy.

I believe, you are right! Seems like, those folks with a lot of money, spend most of their lives trying to get more and keeping someone else from getting it. All my life, I've had a dream of some kind. not a lot of money but, I've just kept going after them till they 'happened'. There's a lot of satisfaction in that. I'm married with a woman who believes in dreams too. That right there makes it all the better.

Top 17 Texas &W song on the radio...




17. I Hate Every Bone In Her Body But Mine

16. It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chewed Your Ass Out All Day Long

15. If I Can't Be Number One In Your Life, Then Number Two On You

14. If The Phone Don't Ring, You'll Know It's Me

13. How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?

12. I Liked You Better Before I Got To Know You So Well

11. I Still Miss You Baby, But My Aim's Getting Better

10. I Wouldn't Take Her To A Dogfight 'Cause I'm Afraid She'd Win

9. I'll Marry You Tomorrow But Let's Honeymoon Tonight

8. I'm So Miserable Without You It's Like You're Still Here

7. If I Had Shot You When I First Wanted To, I'd Be Out Of Prison By Now

6. My wife Ran Off With My Best Friend And I Sure Do Miss Him

5. She Got The Ring and I Got The Finger

4. You're The Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly

3. Her Teeth Was Stained But Her Heart Was Pure

2. She's Looking Better After Every Beer

And the Number One song is ..

1. I Ain't Never Gone To Bed With an Ugly Woman....., But I've Sure Woke Up With A Few !!!
