May God Spare Texas from the Wrath of the Hurricane

About Texas Last year around this time of year we went to Taiwan en route to China, and the weather forecast was that we were heading toward a tropical storm. Somehow, the storm died down, once we went there. It was a peaceful and educational trip. Hurricane Rita is forecast to reach to between Galveston, and Corpus Christi, in Texas. Galveston is an island, if hit by a category 5 storm, will be submerged and covered as one piece with the ocean. I just hope that God and nature can spare Texas. My father liked President Johnson for his direct character. After being in the US all these years, I finally have come to understand America, mostly because of my love toward the Chinese old Nationalists. The participation from a hideout is a good thing. I saw the movie “Giant” with a kind of mystique. James Dean really is cool like an icon etched in people’s images. President Bush looked like James Dean when he was younger, defiant and rebellious, but now he is more stable. The Lone Star Flight Museum is an 100,000 square foot facility is located on beautiful Galveston Island at the Galveston International Airport (KGLS) next to Moody Gardens and the new Schlitterbahn Water Park (Summer 2005).

“The Yellow Rose of Texas”, the most famous Texas song

Circa 1836; author and copyright unknown. The following version is from the 1955 Mitch Miller rendition There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see, Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me. She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart, And if I ever find her, we nevermore will part. She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew; You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee, But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me. When the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright, She walks along the river in the quiet summer night: I know that she remembers, when we parted long ago, I promise to return again, and not to leave her so. She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew; You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee, But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me. Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe, And we'll sing the songs together, that we sung so long ago We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore, And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore. She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew; You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee, But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
