texas

In a comic sense, the Lone Star state of Texas is a cactus havin', heat swelterin', truck drivin', everybody wears bolo ties, cowboy hats, boots, spurs and western shirts every day kind of a place. And we all ride a horse (that we keep tied to our ranches) to school and work. And we don't talk just right.

In reality, Texas is as diverse as any state. And we blog just like the rest of 'em. The Texas Observer keeps a blog and there is even a Texas Law Blog.

There are even startup blogs who blog about new business opportunities in the Lone Star State.
