2. I love it!

Also they want to annex Lockhart, the BBQ capital as well. Gotta have good food, ya know.

but I'll take Lockhart, too, as long as Shiner is still part of the deal.

And yes, we'll take our BBQ (Lockhart), Dr. Pepper (Dublin) and Shiner beer (Shiner) w/ us.

7. Love Austin.

I lived in Dallas for three years and it is light blue in the city and "urban" areas, but Austin is the bright blue dot in that big ass sea of red.

Austin is where the growth is coming from in that state. How well would the state do if Austin seceeded?
