ADVICE FOR ANYONE MOVING TO TEXAS:
1. Save all bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it. 2. If you do run your car into a ditch, don''t panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don''t try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for. 3. Remember: "Y''all" is singular. "All y''all" is plural. "All y''all''s" is plural possessive. 4. Get used to the phrase "It''s not the heat, it''s the humidity". And the collateral phrase "You call this hot? Wait''ll August." 5. Don''t tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares. 6. If you think it''s too hot, don''t worry. It''ll cool down-in December. 7. A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol, a Chevy, Dodge, or Ford is. 8. If someone says they''re "fixin" to do something, that doesn''t mean anything''s broken. 9. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade. 10. If you are a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder that is called "courtesy". 11. BBQ is a food group. It does NOT mean grilling burgers and hot dogs outdoors. 12. Yes, weddings, funerals, and divorces must take into account for college football games.  13. Everything is better with Ranch dressing. 14. DO NOT honk your horn at us to be obnoxious, we will sit there until we die. 15. We pull over and stop for emergency vehicles to pass.  16. We pull over for funeral processions, turn our music off and men remove hats or caps. Some people put their hand over their heart. 17. "Bless your Heart" is a nice way of saying you''re an idiot. 18. No matter what kind, sprite, coke, pepsi, mtn dew, it isn''t called soda, it''s all coke.  19. If you don''t like the weather in Texas, wait, it will change.

15. We pull over and stop for emergency vehicles to pass。 这有什么奇怪的? 难道别州不这么做?

😁 没办法,德州的太阳能把车漆晒脱。 上次带娃去target。车在外面停一个小时多一点,回到车上,娃都要哭了,啥都很烫。。。。。 尤其是今年夏天,100度已经是日常,好几次到108左右

我们华人在德州去做同样的事有可能会被人枪击的。

就说万一你车吊路沟里了,不要怕,德州很多开truck的,经过的时候会把你拉上来,终于等到truck 显身手的时候了。
