I have Zero issues with anyone moving to Texas because they love it. I loved my years there, despite the 106 degrees and 99 percent humidididy.

Yep, the "concrete" or "rhinestone" cowboys make those of us who actually grew up on a ranch/farm cringe. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is quite large and brings out the best of the "wanna-be" cowboys and girls. I'm still trying to figure out why the women feel the need to put on so much silver and rhinestones. Do they really think thats how country people dress? geezzzz..... but, the vendors do love it!
