I had the pleasure of visiting the 'Big Ass State of Texas' in December of 07 and gees was it fun. Was there with my good friend Tammy to visit her home and make more friends. Loved the southern hospitality and everybody was so down to earth. Don't let this picture fool you.. The police there don't really cuff people like you see in this photo. They shoot you first and don't bother with the cuffs at all.. ha,ha. Yep, the old gun culture is alive and well down there in the land of the Alamo. Visited Houston, Kemah, San Antonio and the cover picture to this blog was taken at San Jacinto River.. where you get "the best god damn fried cat fish this side of Louisiana I tell you". Great cowboy bars, friendly girls and Carter's just outside of Houston is the best shooting complex I've ever been to. Special thanks to Thomas (The Fireman) for taking me skeet shooting. Learned alot from those kids who were there that morning with their new shotguns Grandad bought them for Christmas. They must have been a whole nine or ten years old.. Hmm. And to my Aussie friends.. if you're planing to visit Texas, be warned.. It's Deep Fried Everythig! They even talked about a deep fried turkey for Christmas. Oh, you can get a salad.. Deep Fried! But I must conclude with a comment about the Steaks in Texas. One kilogram Rib eye.. Ooooo Yeah!
