July 4 in Palestine, TX


My wife and I just returned home from the local fireworks display, which was synchronized with music from the local radio station. It was a blast.

Pictured below-right: After the show, on our way out of the parking lot (from which we viewed the fireworks), a minority driver was cutting people off in a most obnoxious fashion. As we predicted, the local rednecks didn't take kindly to the blatant disrespect, so one redneck from the right-hand side lunged his own vehicle in front of the offender, rolled down the window, and had some choice words to share that were punctuated with spirited hand gestures.

Then, as if performing a synchronized redneckian stunt, redneck number 2 (pictured to the left of the offending gold-colored car directly in front of us) followed by cutting off the offender from the left, forcing him over to be trapped behind a parked car to the right. Several vehicles kept up the flow of traffic so the offender's exit would be delayed.

It's wise advice offered on street signs throughout our state: "Don't Mess With Texas!"
