You Know You're in Texas When...

...there are stars on everything! One of J's favourite things to spot is stars. He sees them on license plates, signs, buildings, highway pylons,... You name it, there's probably one here somewhere with a star on it!
...the average main meal at a restaurant is enough to feed two hungry adults. It is considered 'normal' for half your meal to remain on your plate and be whisked off to be put in a take-away container as you pay the bill.
...the majority of billboards along the highway are advertising either lap-band surgery, or heart surgery (or other such serious procedures) at Hospital X, or some form of Christian advertising.
...the State Fair features competitions in deep-fried food. Deep-fried bubblegum anyone? (This year's winner) Check out the rest of the finalists.
...every form you fill out is bilingual (Spanish or English). Makes a change from Maori or French for us!
...in the supposed coldest month of winter, today it is warmer to have our door open than closed. At 2pm it is 80*F/27*C outside and 71*F/22*C inside.
