2. Nasty T-storms and heat in summer;
3. "Check your gun at the reception desk" signs on the front doors of businesses;
4. Industrial parks along the interstate with, for some reason, Longhorn steers in a fenced-off field out front;
5. Having to buy a license to buy a beer at a restaurant;
6. Strip clubs galore... NTTAWWT
and 7. being told "Ya'll come back now" by the hostess at an Italian restaurant (what an ambiance killer)...
I love Texas, but it's truly a whole different world down there.

Scary enough, but they are all true (including the stupid dry city thing that pops up in random places). My personal favorite was a street construction sign on a highway site that read "Construction fixin' to start July 15."
