A couple old timers in a coffee shop decided to have a bet at my expense as a youngster. They were debating whether young'uns knew anything about history and likewise they asked me "who did we win our independence from?". I told them Mexico. One laughed as the other pulled out his billfold. I explained... I'm a Texan. We won our independence from Mexico... They both stopped laughing and I left. I still don't know how their bet worked out.

Happy Independence Day.
