You Are Not In West Texas Any More

You know you are not in West Texas when:
People prepare for a storm in advance.
When you are introduced to Bubba Jr.
When BMA (Baptist Missionary Alliance) is the brand of Baptist available most often.
When logging trucks cause a traffic jam.
When the humidity is worse outside than after the hot shower inside.
When your red car becomes black with the guts of "love bugs."
When you lose a significant part of your horizon to the trees.
When you have straight line winds without sand and dust.
When all folks talk about is their hurricane damage.
When a major appliance purchase is a generator.
When camp sites have trees for shade and are generally close to real running water.
When mushrooms are yard art.
When grass is green without ever being watered.
When bends in the road reveal more breath taking pastoral scenes.
When the smell of pine saturates the air.
