8 months of summer & less than 7 days of winter...definitely a trade I prefer.
The Texas flag is the only one allowed to fly at the same height at the US flag and is commonly flown exclusively by natives.
And the last time the governor called on the churches of Texas to pray for rain, we had flooding - so just beware.
