I cannot believe Texans want to celebrate a place where they got there asses handed to them.



I can't believe somebody coming to Texas would make a comment like that-----I am finding a good lynchin' tree in Houston right now:P

Wouldn't miss it! Looking forward to getting more SCRs on the books, some larger, sequential formations, hopefully a hybrid or three, and seeing a bunch of friends I haven't met yet.

Beer is good

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Scotch is better!




There is nothing better than beer ---- you must be from some other country than Texas:ph34r:

First the Alamo and then Beer --- you must want to be hanged boy:S

In order to understand Texans you need to understand the Alamo. Approximately 187 settlers I will call Texans occupied the Alamo in 1836 when it was surrounded by 3K - 5K Mexican troops under General Santa Anna. The Texans repeatedly refused to surrender knowing that they would be executed. The Texans were hoping that Fannin's army would be able to reach them in time, not knowing that Fannin had been surrounded and executed after their surrender near Victoria & Goliad.

The Texans in delaying Santa Anna's army enabled General Sam Houston to escape to the East where he was able to rebuild his forces and defeat Santa Anna at San Jacinto which is just South of Houston.

187 even though hoping for the best probably knew their eventual fate, managed to hold off far superior numbers for 13 days, and saved the Republic of Texas.

The 187 were made up of white colonial settlers who had been invited to Texas, Mexicans, Tennessee adventurers, and at least two Blacks; and included both men and women.

Blue skies,

Jim
