3. There used to be this graffiti
at the Texas Chili Parlor
"Everything in Texas either bites, stings, burns or breaks your heart"

4. I mentioned that the locals wear what they wear for good reasons
and that good boots were indicated.

Still, you go, Will.

6. I forgot to warn him...
about the bugs down here. And on top of everything else it actually rained down here and I wonder if Crawford is inundated with chiggers too.

Poor Will's feet. *snort*

Maybe I should take him some deep woods Off. :)

14. This is why you need cowboy boots
they fit so tight that nothing, not even fire ants, can penetrate them.

16. Ah, the dreaded fire ant
Those bitches hurt and they gang up on you in mass numbers before they all bite in unison.

True neocon insects.
