Either there are a lot of visitors on the Texas highways, or the natives violate this rule constantly!

The reason for the above advise is that Texans are really far to the right and so it is hard to tell, when driving, just where you are.
Just look for the 'Bush' stickers and follow close behind. It shouldn't hurt.

I was in Texas. I heard everything is bigger in texas.. Well I saw nothing of large size. It all seemed the same .. the only big thing is the lie and perhaps the customers at the Jack in the Box

I have a few BIG stickers on the back of my BIG one ton farm truck that I seldom drive in the left lane.

"Bush been lyin"

"Stop mad coybow disease"

"When in doubt, start a war"


BTW, Last time I drove across the state line I noticed the sign "Welcome to Texas, proud home of George W Bush."

The word "proud" had been crossed out.

Next time you come back there'll be a big jackass in Texas. You can bet on it.

It is good to hear there are some folks in Texas that think that way, too.
