He told me that in Texas, they make their own rules, and gave me more information about Texas then IB ever could in the short time the old boy and I talked. Frankly, the majority of the Texans I knew and had dealings with were pretty decent people. Its the state government that sucks, an it also has a class system
so to speak.

I also lived in the barrio near the Rio Grande, not far from a bridge and the old cavalry fort. I had Mexicans who lived behind me, and used to ask me for rides. And, they always gave up something for my trouble without asking. I even drank in the all Mexican-American bars by myself and never had any trouble. I can speak a bit of Espanol, and, I always had my white Stetson on. Beat them all at pool!!!! :smokin:
