- White pickups... except for my brother-in-law's red pickup (JA has always had a mind of his own), all the others seem to be white. (Perhaps because of the heat? Where we live they'd just get lost in the snow!)- In the grocery, you find BIG bags of prepared masa ready to be formed into tortillas...
- And BIG bags of corn husks and dried peppers...
- Texas raises lots of sheep but lamb isn't readily available in the local stores...
- The BIG grocery store (50 miles from here) advertised leg of lamb for $4.99 lb. right next to hog's head for $.49 lb. (the choices one has to make!)
- We went to the local meat processing house in search of lamb and was able to obtain two small packages of chops. He couldn't get us any more today because all their butchers were working on goat... (filling a BIG order from the Muslims in Houston)
- We could, however, have gotten goat's head, beef head, pig's head or feet or tail...
- EVERY store in town sells deer corn... (in NY it's illegal to feed the deer)
- You find displays of "Wild Beast Food" complete with big, scary pictures of hogs (used by hunters as bait for wild hogs)...
- The temperature is in the 70's today while our friends back home are still shoveling snow...
- However, the snowmen in Texas are fake (surprise!) and the ones in NY are real...
