@Shannon fire ants and rattlesnakes and salsa and Mexican restaurants. 😉

August 9, 2017 at 1:50 pm #39490@That_Writer_Girl_99 uhh… yeah. Totally salsa. 😛
August 9, 2017 at 1:51 pm #39491I- how does that relate to Texas at all? @kate-flournoy

August 9, 2017 at 1:52 pm #39492@That_Writer_Girl_99 *blinks* … There is nothing in the world that screams Texas more than salsa. Trust me, I lived there.

TED CRUZ for one thing.
And heat, fire ants, mosquitoes, and dust. And I’m not abusing it, I’m a Texan. XD But we live in OH now.August 9, 2017 at 2:53 pm #39521Anonymous- Rank: Knight in Shining Armor

@kate-flournoy I totally forgot about the salsa. That is very Texas. Especially where I live. Oh, and fire ants. Those things are everywhere!
@that_writer_girl_99 In south Texas, salsa and mexican food are highly consumed. Probably about a third of the population is hispanic where I live.
@emma-flournoy Mosquitoes are the worst aren’t they? Especially if you leave your kiddy pool filled up with water over night 😒. We don’t have that problem any more, because we have a real pool, but I remember it being a big issue. Ted Cruz–great one! I wouldn’t have thought of that, although we (my fam and I) are big fans.August 9, 2017 at 3:16 pm #39546@Shannon I’ve been to Texas before, so maybe that skews my view of it, but when I think Texas, I think… Heartiness, I guess. Big family gatherings and songs around campfires. Rodeos and wind and barbecues and big guys with hats. That kind of thing.

@ethryndal It’s Ok that you’ve never been here. I especially wanted the perspective of those who haven’t visited this state. The wind is one of my favorite things about TX. And the Rodeos! Thanks!

@shannon Yeah, I was a bit confused when you tagged me 😜
August 9, 2017 at 5:12 pm #39602@shannon dust, dirt, mountains, grass, little gas stations in the middle of nowhere, little small cactuses, and the shape of Texas with a cowboy hat leaning on the tip. 😀
August 9, 2017 at 5:13 pm #39603@shannon I don’t know if it makes any difference, but I’ve been to Texas a couple times. 😀

Thanks @Kina-Lamb! That’s great. No it doesn’t make any difference. I want both perspectives.
