I had not one but TWO special Texas moments today. The first was driving by the Texas School for the Blind with a sign wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and then said FOOD FAMILY FRIENDSHIP FOOTBALL. Oh yes let's NOT forget the football. I wonder what would happen if I hung that sign in Berkeley. Actually, I know exactly what would happen. Not only would people object to the football reference but they would have to assemble to debate Thanksgiving as a valid US holiday considering the mistreatment of Native Americans. Not to mention what is happening in Iraq.The other special moment was when I walked out of the UPS store and went to put Sam's car seat in the back seat when I saw that not only had somebody in a HUGE red truck parked VERY close to me, but they also had three large dogs in the front seat, with the window down, barking like crazy as if to say "Come near us lady and we WILL take your head off". Luckily the gentleman who owned this car came out and kindly offered to get out of my way and apologized for parking so closely. Then when it took awhile for him to start his car he peeked out of the driver's side to share with me how pesky his breathalyzer was that is attached to his car because it takes 30 seconds before he can start his car up. Now THAT is a new one.
