East Texan here.  Well, for 3 years anyway.  Didn't you say you lived 
in the Longview area at one time?
'course you can tell a true East Texan because he wears shirts with 
cut-off sleeves, has tattoos on his arms, his wife has tattoos on her 
back and legs (and arms?), has a thong hanging out above her pants, 
and there's a 30% chance he owns some kind of motorcycle.  The 
competition with the Harley's around here is getting bigger.  One of 
our bosses at UPS now shows up on a Harley.  This Saturday he rode it 
inside the building to get it out of the rain.  Mint condition.  Must 
be nice making the money he does, the millionaire bastard.  ;)  No 
tats on him, though.. he's a clean cut man but probably going through 
the midlife crisis about now and thought a Harley would knock about 
10 years off his life.  hehehe.

Oh, and oil derrecks.  My Lord, if there's that much oil under these 
grounds everybody should be checking their back yards, even trailer 
park renters?..,. sure, run a garden hose under the ground and try to 
get a barrel to help pay the rent.

So, to sum up East Texas... and yes this is a bit 
exxagerated,...  drunks, drugs, Harley's, TATTOOS, heart-breaking 
women everywhere, flat bed trucks with those welding units on the 
back, over-sized trucks with no purpose other than to compensate, 
sleeveless shirts in the summer (women too, even the hot ones), and 
most of the industry is oil-based.  There's companys that sell bolts 
and nuts to another company that builds parts for another company 
that builds bigger parts for another company that contracts for the 
local oil companies, and they're all in about the same area.  And 
guess who gets to lift all that heavy crap every day.   :)  But 
there's certainly lots and lots of rich people with huge unaffordable 
houses, lots of lawyers, doctors, and the most car lots I've ever 
seen in one area in any city.  If you can't get a new car here with 0 
down, you can't get a car at all, and 4 Super Wal-Marts.

So, is the reunion in East Texas?  Should ya'll arrive on a Harley?
