Howdy owasco! My pleasure for the resteem, that post was so powerful.

There is alot to be said for the Cowboy Code that's for sure. Lots of people hate Texas because it's been old fashioned for so long and has stayed with her traditional values but that's changing now with the exploding population of migrants.

When we first moved here from Ohio, I'm a Kansas farmboy raised out by Dodge City, but was living in Ohio. Anyway, when we first got here the first thing my wife noticed was the deep respect and honor shown her by the men.

That first week she'd been called Ma'am more times than in her whole life in the North. lol. And never had a hat tipped to her either. But I hear it's not like that in the cities.
