text: Let me tell you of a personal experience.  I am not stereotyping any state neither am I meaning to disrespect anybody.  Just wanted to get that out of the way before I begin.\nI and my husband have traveled the US quite a bit.  When we were in the city of San Angelo, Texas in July 2005 we went camping to a popular camping site.  One day, while strolling past all the recreational vehicles, with noisy people partying everywhere one looks, we saw a unique motorcycle and could not help but inspect closer to admire it.  A couple of minutes later, we hear a young man's voice behind us saying something, we could hear he had a strong local dialect. \n-"The ole' man o'er there, dat's his.  He's ole', but he can shoot real well."\nOne can derive one thing from that statement, he thought we may have wanted to steal or vandalize the motorcycle in some way.  We said we were only admiring it.  Then a conversation began about who's from where and what we are doing here.  Well, my turn came to explain my origins.  Since I am a Ukrainian who has married an American, I told him I was from Ukraine.  He was quiet for a few seconds then replied with a drawl, "So, is that outside of Texas?"  \nI looked at him, then at my husband, and that was when we both decide to say "goodbye" to our "unique" Texan friend.  Never have we had such an experience...only in Texas.
