Happy Birthday to Vikki Carr

She was born in El Paso, Texas in 1941.

TEXAS FIRE ANTS

One of my most vivid memories of Texas is walking over a fire ant hill and both of my legs on fire within 5 seconds.

TEXAS SIGN

The big eaters come from Nebraska!

It took somebody from Nebraska to win the steak eating contest at the Big Texas Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas.

Molly Schuyler ate a 4 1/2 pound steak in 4 minutes 58 seconds.  That was so good, she ate another steak in 9 minutes 59 seconds.

And, get this, Molly stands 5' 7" and weighs 125 pounds.

 

I guess this shoots down the slogan, "Everything's bigger in Texas".  When it comes to big steak eaters you have to go north to Nebraska!

NOW THAT DONNIE AND LINDA ARE LIVING IN TOWN, IT WON'T BE SO FAR TO DRIVE TO AUSTINS MANY CELEBRATIONS.

If there's any city that can come up with a reason to celebrate, at the drop of a hat, it's Austin, Texas.

The next big event is the Pecan Street Festival May 3rd and 4th with
street art, music acts, street magicians and crowds that usually number around 200,000 for this "fest".  Sounds like a good party to me!

THIS WILL GET ATTENTION ON THE HOUSTON FREEWAYS!
