Tawdry Tales of Texas, Episode 1

(this is a new experiment, designed to get me posting)

Texans do not know how to drive in the rain. I can picture the reactions: "Aaaahhhhh! What's this??? There's WATER COMING FROM THE SKY!!!! What do we doooooo???" I respect the act of driving slowly and carefully while it's raining. I do not understand sitting at a stop light for fifteen full seconds after it turns green. It was not just a one time deal, either. This was at every traffic light I encountered.

I haven't lived in Virginia's tidewater region for several years, but I still remember all of the driving tricks I learned there. It rains three to five days out of every week there. You get used to it. I sorta miss it. We don't get nice thunderstorms here.
