Breaking news

This just in: Texas is a big state.

Right now I’m working on a project that involves an unnamed government funded entity in the great state of Texas. One of my co-workers just pointed out that they use “Texas is a big state” as a reason for everything. Why do they need federal funding for this program? “Texas is a big state.” Why are these plans so complicated? “Texas is a big state.” Where is the inventory we requested? When will we get this document approved? Why haven’t they made a decision yet about this or that? Well, these things take time, because… you know.

So, consider my error to be your example. Should you, in the future, find yourself dealing with the State of Texas in some capacity, you would do well to always keep in mind that Texas Is A Big State.

Texas isn't just a 'big' state, it's a mighty state that has a lot of state pride. The people there are always willing to help and share in a good ol fashioned cow tippin'. So, I say do what we have to, let's keep tha Texans happy.. because they are worth it. Remember... you may not have been born in Texas, but you sure as hell can do you best to get there as fast as you can.. and be thankful for a new lease on life.

I think that Tennessee is just about as wide as Texas. I haven't done this yet, but if you drive from Bristol to Memphis, that's an incredible drive.
