Fred, guess you never meet an 8th generation Californian, must be talking about all those carpetbaggers we have 
My Mothers family had a little piece of Texas for a while

Operated that mill even in the Depression, at a loss, because it was the right thing to do, still hold 250k acres of producing mineral rights. 
Texas today, reminds me of the society we once had here in California and other Western States.
We ran Longhorns on our California Ranch in the 1850's only steer that could survive the dry conditions, beautiful Pacific Ocean but very little fresh water and feed. They call it the Malibu, nowadays populated by surf rot and hollyweirds.
God Bless Texas |
