I live in Fort Worth (Euless post office). I am not a native Texan (born and most of my life in Southern California), but there is definitely something special about Texas and Texans. They love their state like no one else does, and take enormous pride in it, and always have. Many Texans refuse to accept the idea that Alaska is bigger. Bigger in size, maybe, but nowhere is bigger in heart. Or BS, and I say that affectionately. I love Texas, too.
