locals if we wanted to fit in it would be wise to adopt the following:
1) There are no more beautiful flowers then bluebonnets
2) There is no better ice cream than Bluebell
3) There is no better football team on the planet than the Longhorns
1 and 2 we could handle and we could certainly root for the Longhorns as long as they weren't playing BYU. The locals tolerated us.
