The Falls, Part One

It has been a month. 

Well Six weeks, but who's counting.

Upon my arrival in 'The Falls" I was welcomed in by a furniture saleswoman by the name of the Sue. She was in her 60s and had no problem making me aware of this. I have seen her on two separate days now, and on both occasions she was wearing a cheery Hawaiian shirt with birds of paradise all over. 

Sue craves Hawaii.

I tell you this because the residents of 'The Falls' fit into two separate categories. 

The 'I Love The Falls!' category consists of life long residents.  People who were destined to live here their whole lives. They want everyone to know that Pecan Tree Farming is a very American way to get by. Most typically these individuals are found at one of the many WalMarts or Fast Food Establishments.

The 'I can't wait to get the hell out of The Falls' category is equally entertaining. You can run into them anywhere in 'The Falls" but more often than not they are found drunk at bars. For you see, these people often only feel comfortable sharing their feelings when everyone around them is either passed out or on their way to it. 

The Falls thus far has been a learning experience of not just Texas, but of America. I have met more 'Americans' here in the last month than I have in my whole life. 

So to sum up my first month here alone and without friends and family...I love it. 

I will have more specific stories about what America is really like in future posts. This is just a broad general post to get things started. 

Possible Blog Posts to Come:

1. Singing Texas specific sing-along songs in a party bus with over 50 drunk people for two hours.

2. Learning how to turn Watermelons into decorative table pieces.

3. A night on the town at a bar called "Fuglies"

4. Buying furniture from Sue.

5. Fink's phone call on the likely possibility of him getting a reporter position at my station.

6. Going to a rodeo and seeing a 9 year old get plowed by a 900 pound bull. 

Now it is your turn to vote 1-6 on which post you would like to here next. 

Thanks for reading about 'The Falls' and remember....YeeeHaw!!
