    I gotta say as a Californian, as much as we bag on Texas if our two states ever teamed up we would steamroll the rest of the nation.

      I gotta say as a Californian, as much as we bag on Texas …

      that interests me greatly.

      when i moved from san francisco to austin i was surprised by how many “don’t california my texas” bumper stickers and flags shown everywhere. at first i attributed it to having to switch to driving for my commute and i thought it was odd that i had never sensed a such a reciprocated sentiment expressed while lived in all of california; much less be so ubiquitous every you go.

      yours is the first i’ve ever heard.

        Most of our bagging on Texas is talking about how cute it is they think they’re in the same league as us, economically.
