It was damn near 98 degrees yesterday. Of course the women were hot. Everybody was hot.

And since everything is bigger in Texas, it doesn't take a lot of women to make up "tons."

Seriously now...
Although there are some elements of our government and society that make me want to scream, I still love this country. And I still get misty-eyed when I hear the Star-Spangled Banner.
