As a sidebar, I just wanted to comment that yes, some people in Texas regularly read the New York Times, despite the fact that the Times doesn’t include any coverage of rodeos, high school football, or monster truck rallies. 😉
Here in Arlington, it’s even possible to get home delivery. Not sure how the papers get here — maybe they throw a bundle off the plane as it’s flying over at 30,000 feet on its way from New York to the west coast.
I’m just funnin’ here, in response to some stereotyping of Texas residents as yokels from a previous post — don’t anybody get your panties in a knot. I’ve lived in 9 states and 4 countries and traveled in many more — when I see such sweeping (and erroneous) generalizations about people, I can’t help poking gentle fun.
