Texas Independence Day is the celebration of the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. With this document signed by 59 people, settlers in Mexican Texas officially declared independence from Mexico and created the Republic of Texas. The convention named Sam Houston to command the army, such as it was, and by April 21, he had made it stick. By coincidence, today is also Houston's birthday. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Happy B'day Texas! I'm riding down next month and looking forward to visiting Big Bend, Hill Country, and whatever else I stumble upon. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Happy Birthday to my beautiful (adopted) Republic and to the man for whom my wonderful city is named...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Where is that statue? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way.

Thanks. I hope to get over to Huntsville this spring to pay my respects, once more. I was there many decades ago, and need to go again.
