Holy crap. I had no idea that Hornsby Bend had anything to do with Rajah. That's madness. I live under 10 miles from there. You really do learn something new every day!
I'd also be entirely supportive up the Senators for Austin. I almost suggested it as well.

I almost mentioned this, too. In addition to Austin and San Antonio not really being in "south Texas" I was originally taken slightly aback at having these two metropolises (#16 and #7 biggest in the US) lumped in alongside our *much* smaller brethren, but then I thought better of it. Until now, when I unthought better of it
It doesn't really matter, of course. It's just that as a Texan I have to point out bigness whenever and wherever possible. Those of you not from here will have to take me at my word when I say that I'm only complying with National (sorry, I mean State) law
Cheers to enuttage for his suggestions and, of course, his support of mine. You sir, do me an honor.
