I've lived in New York State my entire life and I have never seen our state flag displayed with this kind of enthusiasm. I drove hundreds of miles around Texas and frequently saw displays like this one. Maybe it is a bit harder to be enthusiastic about a state flag such as ours that is nothing more than a bureaucratic seal. As well, the NY flag is hard to distinguish from that of a dozen other states. It seems that Texas is indeed a state of mind. I had a wonderful six days in our great Lone Star sister state and am grateful to all you Texans who helped me along my way. I plan on coming back again when the LBJ ranch has completed making the main house completely accessible for visitors. The park service has only just opened up the first room to visitors so I will need to come back and see the rest one day.
