    Flew into Love Field Monday in which I hopped in my rental car and drove to Austin for customer visits yesterday there and in San Antonio. With a
    drive back to Ft Worth last night, I made a few stops in which every place I stopped, the people were extremely nice and VERY friendly. Even the
    drivers were overly courteous, letting me into lanes and not tail gating if I was going a tad slow (80+) in the fast lane.

    With today and tomorrow to go here, not sure I'm looking forward in going back to all the A-Holes in Kalifornia who do not have the sense of
    pride in the state as I see with the people here in Texas!

    Nice state you have here :)

    Well, Peter, I'd say you were kind of fortunate, or you actually know how to drive. If you were doing 80ish then you're doing well to keep up with the traffic flow.

    I will say people are more courteous in driving manners usually on the highways/freeways outside of the cities.

    Please stare at this light. It won't hurt a bit. You'll soon forget everything you experienced and will not be tempted to tell other Kalifornians what you saw here.

    Excellent, I hope you did enjoy your visit to the Panther City. I think we are as laid back as it gets for DFW.

    Texans are equal opportunity to all Christians and Republicans! :D My bass boat, hunting, and truck are just to fit in among the natives. :eek:

    Showed Peter some good local BBQ, Feedstore in Southlake (not a chain).

    That was some of the best BBQ I have ever eaten, casual and yummy!

    For lunch yesterday, I went to Babe's Chicken Dinner House in which about every twenty minutes, the wait staff lined up and did the Hokee-Pokee, kinda nuts!

    Babe's is by far one of the best chicken places, seems like you hit the core food stops except maybe Tex-Mex. Honestly most of the Tex-Mex places will be good, there are a couple more high end that do a couple more seafood and quality steak recipes.

    Had a customer meeting in Tyler, TX yesterday and encountered the same. Very nice town, really friendly people, great barbecue (Stanley's).

    I'm not going to clown my fellow Californians, but I do enjoy all of the different cities I visit. I do like it where I live too though (warts and all).
