a row of overweight people are eating adjacent to the row of fast food stands, all of which are promising local flavour, and attitude. every sandwich, wrap, pile of food is littered with animal carcass. so much meat in this state. there are burger joints on every block, all of which provide "drive-thru" service. pickup trucks and beat-up sedans with tinted windows are parked outside. as i weaved through the back and forth cloth fenced and empty crowd control pathways to airport security, i noticed at each turn there was a sign on a stand. one would tell you what things you were not allowed to have on the plane. another gave general warnings from the TSA. a third had the task of informing passengers that the current threat level was orange, or 'high'. this sign wasn't like one of those "will be back in..." signs with the movable clock hands. this was printed out. keep fat texans scared. they might just buy another chili burrito with extra cheese and texas bbq sauce.
