thought you
 might be interested in this bit of trivia as well. 

Where did the Texas Longhorn logo idea come from?

 









I did not know this!

 In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large German-speaking population.

One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher's stock pond. 











The rancher rolled down the window and shouted: "Sehr angenehm! Trink das Wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein geschissen."

This means: “Glad to meet you! Don't drink the water. The cows have shit in it."

The man shouted back: "I'm from New York and just down here campaigning for Joe Biden. I can't understand you. Please speak in English." 

The rancher replied: "Use both hands”!!

New Braunfels is great, lots of German smokehouses.  And of course, the original Schlitterbahn water park.

Good to hear i hope they don't " Die kuehe haben darein geschissen."
Not sure I'd like their Oktoberfest Bier if they did

played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they
don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries...7. Every commercial on television has a Web site at the bottom of the screen8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 80) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it !10. You get up in the morning and go on-line before getting your coffee11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :) title=Smiley12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.13.

May be an image of body of water and text that says 'The boat used as the S.S. Minnow in Gilligan's Isle was a 1964 Wheeler with a cruising speed of 12 knots- which means they couldn't have traveled more than 41.5 miles. Now I'm starting to doubt if the show was even real.'
