3 1/2 Time Outs Tuesday – The Wednesday Edition

While chatting with LarryD this morning **cough beating him at Words with Friends cough** he casually mentioned (threatened me with bodily harm) that I had not yet done this week’s 3 1/2, and in fact had not done one for last week either.  I asked him if that meant I owed him 7 Quick Takes, he muttered something about Jennifer Fulwiler and then told me to get to work.

“I have no ideas this week,” I told him.

“Write about Texas,” he replied, “You never seem to run out of reasons why it’s so great.”

He’s right!  Texas rocks! I could do this with one arm tied behind my back.  But I’m not gonna ’cause I don’t wanna. (Somewhere an English teacher just rolled in her grave.)

So here’s the “Why Y’all Should Come to Texas Other Than You’d Get to Say Y’all a Lot” edition of 3 1/2 time outs.

The people are friendly here.  #2 says “Seriously, how many people are you going to meet here who want to beat you up for fun?”  I wasn’t aware that this was a problem for him on the mean streets of Oklahoma, but it’s definitely a plus.

He’s right.  I’ve been here an entire year and no one’s tried to beat me up yet, and if you knew me you’d know what an accomplishment that was.

While other folks are trying to drown defenseless chipmunks. (I’m eyeballin’ you LarryD) Seriously, you’re worried about these guys?

We have serious varmints down here we’re trying to wrangle.

Guys like this

but we ain’t afeared of him! No sir, we round ’em up and eat ’em!

Heck, we like ’em so much that we give ’em their own queen!

Unless these are the chipmunks you’re drowning, and then I say “Good on ya!”

Stetson hats.  Because……yeah…..

*swoon*

Oh, yeah….and you can ride a cow here if that’s your thing.
