WAR XVII is upon us, as is my favorite National Holiday: Texas Independence Day.
On March 2 each year, we celebrate our state's independence; the signing of the declaration, the drawing of the line in the sand. We remember
We're the biggest state in the union. No,
The Capitol is the only state capitol building taller than the U.S. Capitol. We're the only state that can legally fly our flag at the same height as the US Flag. That, my friend, is pride.

Meet at TCP (Texas Chili Parlor - 14th & Lavaca) at 6:30pm, this Wednesday - 2/25 for dinner. Ride will begin at 7:15 sharp, so be there early if you want a bowl of red.

The Texas state flag, like any other state flag, is covered under the US Flag code and is limited (just like all the rest) to fly at no more than the same level as the national flag (http://www.snopes.com/history/american/texasflag.asp). The Texas state capitol building is, in fact, the third tallest state capital building. Louisiana's is 450 feet tall, Illinois' is 361 feet tall, while the one in Austin is 308 feet tall. Where pride and fact intersect we should all yield to fact.
