*Gits out her shotgun and stands in front of the Texas flag as rousing music plays*

The great state of Texas was built on iron and grit. This sovereign nation within itself is an institution of pride and freedom. The ancestors that blazed a trail to Texas were hearty folk with steel backbones and true hearts. They were not the bookish, quiet types that would sit in libraries and build legislation. No. They were gun totin’ wild men with fire in their hearts and hot blood in their veins. You can’t expect the descendants of such strong willed folk to think before we act. Native Texans are doers and we are proud to be so. And, unless you live in the panhandle, Texans are not used to anything white coming from the sky.

When the first ice pellets hit my window, I knew we were being attacked. I got my Colt 45 and ran outside. I was shocked. Cold things were flying at me from all over. I began to buck and scream! “Holy Jeezers! It must be the terrerists!”, I screamed at my husband who began to calm me down. As a person who travels for business, my husband has seen this kind of weather before and reassured me as to what was happening. I had help. Other Texans were not so lucky…*sniff*
