A cow described by authorities as "unhappy" sent two peeps, at least one of whom was ID'd as a rancher, to a local hospital. One was injured so seriously, they had to be airlifted from the scene while the other was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

There's a new sheriff in town. Ok, it's not a new sheriff, it's the same old state troopers and the Texas Department of Public Safety is still handling all things driver license and ID related. They just don't want to deal with you personally. Which I am ... and I think most everyone else in the universe is also ... totally cool with.

Texans LOVE Texas - we all know that. I know people who live in other states and have talked to people while visiting other states and I have yet to find anybody with the same level of state pride as a Texan.

Roller Derby is a fun thing to watch. I don't know how women on skates, rocketing around in a circle trying to kill each other ever got to be a thing but it is. We already have that though, this is a new, improved ... safer and more peaceful ... "rolling" derby.

When it comes to fast food, the best burger joint ever was born in Texas. Whataburger first opened up 75 years ago in Corpus Christi and was a "Texas only" thing for quite awhile. Now you can find that big orange W in 16 states.

From Netflix specials to local legends, a comedian's jokes have some questioning the shadows lurking near Lady Bird Lake. Curious?

I think pretty much every Texan owns at least one cowboy hat. It's like a state law or something.

We all get the same, standard rap from the flight attendants when traveling by air. The exits are located here, place your bags in the overhead compartment, no smoking, here's how the life vest and air masks work, etc, etc...

Like most Texans with a taste for the mota, I keep my eyes open and I can spot an unmarked police car from a mile away. They're not that hard to spot if you know what to look for. This guy didn't know what to look for ...

As the saying goes, what goes up, must come down and a huge piece of space trash, launched over 50 years ago by Russia, is slowly slipping out of its orbit. Meaning, "heads up (Texas) Earthlings".
