Those five words under a few duck silhouettes appeared in vinyl on the back window of a pickup truck here in Texas. I am hoping the driver of the vehicle was simply a bird hunter with a poor way of expressing his enthusiasm and not an Islamic terrorist with a penchant for RPGs.

But back to speaking of motor vehicles, Texas has two types, and both are big — trucks and SUVs. I guess if you live among oil derricks, fuel economy is not high on your list. For the record, though, gas was ten to thirty cents more expensive here in Texas than in Utah. Go figure.
