LEO, Texans take the Battle of the Alamo serious, it's an important part of our history.  It's important to me because I am a native born Texan and the fact that a lot of the men at the Alamo were Masons.  The Grand Lodge of Texas erected a bronze plaque honoring the Masons that fought there.  Arcey, even though Moses Austin lived in Virginia before he went to Texas, he was actually born in Connecticut.  Arcey, both of my GG Grandfathers on my mother's side were members of the Army of Northern Virginia.  Both of them were buried in their CSA uniforms.

Well neither you Texicans or Virgginyions is doin' a good job, our wanna be prez wants us ta learn spanish.

Not me, I'd rather learn Lakota, would do me more good.

Del,  The population demographics are changing. Those folks are exporting themselves all over the US.

[Leo Tanner]

Sorry Tex (don't care what John Wayne said, pologies er due now an then).  Hit a sore spot on ya. 
     
     I didn't know the Masons had anythin ta do out in Texas.  If you're a member, I'm sure you know alot of history alot of us don't.  You guys keep everythin so secret.  (but i'd love ta be one just ta know them secrets)

     Any native American language would be a nice language ta learn.  Heck, Navaho speak was very important in WWII.  Then again, if everyone knew it, it wouldn'ta done much good

[Arcey]

Virginia ain't got nothin' ta do with either them wannabes...

Sam Houston, Stephen Austin, born Virginians. USS Texas, BB35, built in Newport News by Virginians.

They was more Virginians then they was Texans helpin' the Tennessee boys fight it the Alamo. Tagether, they fought, bled 'n died as one for a cause they all believed in. A bond is there that can't be broken. Whup 'Sleep ya gonna hafta whup me next. Me 'n him kin name call 'n fight all we want, that's ok.

But why am I stuck with tryin' ta keep y'all straight?

When ya use cobs as ya would paper in the head it's the same. Ya wouldn't leave used TP on the boat would ya?

[Tensleep]

Like my lil Brother Arcey said, blood isn't the omly bond....


Leo, any free born man of good character can learn the "secrets" of Free Masonry, to be one, ask one.

Arcey,  We still got the Texas down by Houston, near the battlefield at San Jacinto, where Santa Anna was captured and the War for Texas Independence was won.  It served in both World Wars.  They was folks from all over at the Alamo, including some folks from Ireland and Scotland. Everyone came to Texas for the land and to be free.  Just like Davy Crockett said "You can go to Hell, I'm going to Texas.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, To answer your question.  Yes I am one, been one since 1975.  Our Grand LOdge was chartered in 1836.

[Tensleep]

I have been a Mason since 1973, the Grand Lodge of Virgina was chartered in 1778, but 9 lodges had been meeting on Virginia soil since the early 1700s or before.

Too bad we ain't on it rather'n this tub...

[Leo Tanner]

I've never been one ta judge my own character, I leave that ta others and listen ta what they have ta say about me.  Some of em can jump off a cliff an some say things that stay in my memory forever having a direct effect on my future actions.
    I was born free, so I believe I'll "ask one".  It's a brotherhood that seems to have stood the test of time.  

[Delmonico]

Too bad we ain't on it rather'n this tub...

Maybe we could take this thing in to the used boat lot and get one of these:



Could load it with corn cobs instead of gravel.

[Arcey]

Hehehehehehe.....

Got a l'il family owned oiler runnin' up 'n down the Elizabeth looked like that when she was full. Ya'd see 'er in the afternoon er early evenin' 'n she'd have 'bout six feet ah freeboard.

[Texas Lawdog]

Del, Looks like livin' space on that one might be a little cramped for all of us.

[litl rooster]

did obama start that lie about me?

[Texas Lawdog]

LR, It's Mud-slinging, just a part of this mess we laughingly refer to as POLITICS.  I started learning Spanish at an early age. Unfortunately, most of those words were "cuss" words.

Jackie grew up in California,   she knows a lot of them choice words,   her dad was a tractor mechanic and she grew up out in the country around the Mexicans,  sounds like she could get ya told off in a heartbeat.     course she can get ya told off in English if the need arises. 

[Texas Lawdog]

OT, I think Jackie could hold her own with anyone.

[Leo Tanner]

Just curious OT, what part of CA was Jackie from?  Sounds mighty familiar ta me.
