Cut me some slack I am a m e s s i c a n, ha ha.

You are certainly Mexican if a day at the flea market ends with a dance and either a stabbing or a shooting.

Maryland:

I hear you on that, I doubt I could survive up there either (way too cold). But, you are in a nice part of the country, I always liked Maryland seafood. But, they make a very poor "Campechana" and or "Vuelve a la Vida".

I grew up in Mexico as my Dad and all of his family is from Mexico, about 3 generations or so, but orginally they were British. But, I am as white as white can be, but I am much more Mexican in terms of my tastes, preferences and habits than I am anglo (save for Copenhagen, and now you can get that in Mexico). My mom is from Alice (met my dad as an exchange student in Mexico City and the rest is history) so even though she is anglo she has got quite a bit of South Texas in her.

When I moved to the Valley I about freaked people out as I was so white and spoke spanish. So people get freaked out about South Texas due to the lack of white people. Man, when I moved up here I freaked out as I had never seen so many so often in my life, LOL. Shows you how peoples perspectives are different.

My first day of school in the Valley I got into three fights, with three different people. It just blew them away that I was white and could speak spanish and such. After that first day I never had another fight in school for the rest of the time I was in the valley.

Anyway, I have either lived in or worked in Mexico for 31 of my 37 years, so I feel pretty qualified about all of this and as I mentioned I am a card carrying one none the less. My wife is Hispanic (Mexican America) but she was raised in North Carolina so she really is just a slightly olive colored gringa. Her family is from down here, but she is just shocked by it all down here. Her spanish shocks me, she actually invents words that she tries to put into the Spanish language.

She is pregnant and I am beging her to have the baby in Mexico so he or she can have dual citizenship like I do. I actually think that we might divorce before that happens, but I am still holding out hope.

South Texas is a real neat place, but only on one condition and that condition is that you have a little green. Otherwise it can suck pretty bad.

RGV, can you believe you were 37 when you wrote this? Now you are almost 57.....Hard to bereave that TexAgs is that old

I don't know whether to laugh or cry from your post. Time has flown. As I was working in Mex at the birth of the internet I found it was the easiest way to keep up with the Ag's. I stumbled upon the old GoBig12 boards and was on those for about a year or so, and when Peter started pushing Texags's myself and several others from those boards migrated over to TA. I wanna say it was late 97' or even 98'. I have been on TA ever since, but truly don't frequent it like I used to years ago.

The big meltdown after the Tech game in 99', I think it was, was a big reset. I remember trying to log into TA that following Monday night and it was teats up, I figured it was a problem with the Mexican internet which was common then. Little did I know the whole site had crashed.

It is hard to believe time has flown by as it has, my daughter is a freshman in college now.

Thanks for the memories sir......
