Texans, I am a Winter Texan who comes to your fine state each winter to avoid the cold weather in Kansas. I have some observations about your state and its people that may be of interest to you. First, I find the state to be very welcoming to those of us who visit. I have noticed this many times throughout the years, as I have been to numerous cities in the state. I have attended ball games, concerts, visits to friends, and vacations in Texas. I have eaten some of the best BBQ and Mexican food in your state! My experience with Texans is that they are kind, friendly, truthful, realistic, people who care about others. On my trip through Texas in the spring, I was surprised to see the lack of concern for wearing masks and distancing. In hindsight, I realize that the president and others were not very convincing about the need to be cautious. Now, we’ve learned to use our rational minds and ignore the political posturing! Please, don’t let anyone change your authentic style.
