Trip to Texas
All right you gents from The Great State of Texas. I am going to San Antonio next week. You guys know any good razor, or shops to get a shave there? How about really good place to have dinner?
Thanks for the help.

San Antonio is a great city --- can't help you with shaving destinations. Kerrville , Fredericksburg and Bandera are cool cities to check out also . With all the rain, the Guadalupe River will probably be muddy though ---

One saying that got me into trouble in Texas...
"We could just cut our state in half and make Texas the 3rd largest state."
Being that I was staitioned in Fairbanks AK at the time and have sence adopted AK as my home... Well the people in TX didn't like me saying that to much

Many years ago, when my father was just a tad more wild than he is today, he came home drunk and shot the next door neighbors calf with his bow, cleaned, and dressed the poor critter the whole time believing he had taken a deer! The next morning the cops came to get him. Knowing my fathers reputation they brought in several police. My father tried to stand them down with only a knife in his hand! at this point my step mother jumped in between the police and my father, and told the police that if they put away their guns my father would go with them peacefully. Well they did, and my father did. He was arrested and put in jail for what amounted to "cattle rustling"! This happened in Northern Ca. Many years later his father, who lived in Floresville Texas, died and my father had to fly out for the funeral. He carried his conviction papers in his wallet as a reminder not to drink, but refused to bring them with to Texas! He said he didn't want anyone in Texas to see the papers because they still hung people for "cattle rustling"!

That's a hell of a story Mark ---can't make something like that up.
Texans (I have a ex-brother-in-law from Texas) are damn proud of their state and with good reason. Plain and simple they have their sh*t together -----and Texas is always absorbing people from states with less opportunities. Both of my sisters live in and work in Texas ----I enjoy going there when I can . The Texas Hills Country is particularly nice and I believe San Antonio sits at the southern end of it. to Texas.
