Random discovery
I was excavating some files last night deep in my desk at home last night, and I found a folder of crap from college. It had ticket stubs and party flyers and stuff that was supposed to remind me of the best years of my life, but now, of course, I have no real memory of them.
Anyhow, I found a few bumper stickers in the folder, and I did remember those. They were given to me by worried family members when I first went away to school. I think they thought that my going to school 1500 miles away would make me forget my roots. One was the ubiquitous "Don't Mess With Texas" sticker. Another said "Native Texan." And the third said "Displaced Texan."
I probably hadn't looked at that damned bumper sticker since it was given to me, er, more than ten years ago. Who knew it'd end up being my name?
