This right here is why you are my favourite Texan by far. I said this about you from the first time we spoke (to my wife - I chat to her about all the various people I speak to online), that you were simultaneously dyed in the wool Texan and also undermined every Texan stereotype in existence. I think that's part of why I think so highly of you. I hugely admire people who are proud of their identity whilst being clear-eyed enough not to let it cloud them from truth.
