Been a resident of Corsicana Tx for the last 5 days and while the area has taken an economic hit, like a lot of rural America...from local shops, Walmart to the dealer and yes Waffle House...the people are kind, considerate and have a curiousity about Canada and they are respectful of my former country...There is great pride towards the Star of Texas.....
I love my state. You know the expression: "I wasn't born here, but I got here as fast as I could!!"
From New England to Texas. I'll never leave. And, sitting here at home in Arlington, TX while waiting for my next load, I like it that I have the best truck stop in Texas just for me!!!
God Bless Texas!!!!

I can ride a ATV down the town street...no license required, no insurance...walk into the local food store with my rifle and no one even blinks....No town bylaws....it is my land do what ya want is the trend. America at its best....
We all can make our stays on the road interesting and fun. One can create their own fun,sightseeing,window shopping, watch TV at a sports bar, of course no drinking.
Books A Million is fun if u can read,lol. If u can,t read, buy a cup of coffee and a desert.
Buy a paint ball gun and paint a railroad car, or a Panther van, just kidding on the Panther van, color a Blair Sprinter instead.
My fav, letting the air out of Panther tires, so in the morning all their drivers are even on that First OUt rule they use. I wonder if they hold hands in the bathroom, surely not.
Stop by JJb garden and get some pickles and Tatars, watch for snakes and badgers,lol...............good luck out here.

Whether it's Texas or Egypt by the third day I'm moving to a better spot.
The reason I came to Texas is an interesting story. I was living in Rhode Island and met a member of the Fort Worth Chapter, APICS (American Production and Inventory Control Society) at a conference in Montreal. She asked me if I would like to make a presentation at one of her chapter meetings in Fort Worth. I agreed and spent 4 days in Fort Worth (it was only supposed to be 3 days, but there was a blizzard in Rhode Island and I couldn't fly back on Sunday).
I fell in love with Texas. I returned home to the last month of my job (they were letting me go because I had implemented all the software updates they needed and decided I was too expensive to keep), decided to get divorced after 16 years, then made it my goal to get to Dallas.
1 more year in Rhode Island (1993-94). 2.5 years in Fayetteville, AR (1994-1996). 3 years in Marshall, TX 1997 - 2000). Finally got a job in Denton, TX in 2000. Moved to Mansfield, TX, then Arlington, TX.
That's why I am in Texas.

Love or leave it.
Anybody know the difference between a yankee and a da*n yankee?
A yankee comes for a visit then leaves, a da*n yankee comes and stays! *l*

Got stopped by a trooper in Texas one time and the first thing he said to was "how long have you been in my country". We have been stuck down there a couple of times and have no desire to go back but will if the $$$ is right. It's just hard to get a load out. It's hard to communicate in Texas cuz english is the second language there. Asked the security guards where to go to deliver and they could not speak enough english to tell me. Number 34 was more than they could do. I speak some spanish but don't do it just to be a jerk I guess. Its more fun to watch them get frustrated when I keep asking them to repeat. Aw the fun we have on the road. Gonna get a paint ball gun next. Great idea!

For some reason, I can't stop laughing. I can't decide what's funnier, the thought of you laughing to yourself while some poor guy is struggling to do his job in a foreign language or the fact that I believe you are actually going to go out and buy a paintball gun based on a joke.
The paint ball gun would be a blast. Until someone thought it was real and shot me. In Texas most don't speak english but all of them are armed. I really do speak quite a bit of spanish and only use it when its fun like ordering in an italian restaurant and the waiter is mexican. It throws them off so much that they finally just brake out in laughter. I call it reduction to the absurb.
