Texas is -- (well- this is in my slightly inebriated opinion-) a sort of country. UCT.. UNited COunties of Texas. After you live here a while, you begin to sense an isolation. An independence.

Most kids go to to UT and A&M. Or maybe Tx Tech. It's such a large state that not many go far east or west. So that even if you are an outsider, and tend to scoff or smile derisively at the "inbreeding", you begin to absorb this psychology.

So that tonight, all over this huge state, there are, I would predict, many eyes glued to the TV, and many hearts saddened. Because A&M represents Texas. And its spirit.

I hate to say it, but I think some of this college stuff IS downright dangerous (obviously, I know). There was a massive bonfire on the edge of town, for the first time this year, and even though the fire dept was there, the whole thing looked surprisingly dangerous to me. 100 feet high is FUCKING HIGH.

I don't care what, you can't build something that tall without killing someone sooner or later. Period.

Fifty feet, forty feet, thirty feet, is pushing it.
