Naw money got nothin to do with it. Just Texas Proud! I've been working all over America recently and I started telling my boss the pay scale begins to trend upwards at the borders of the lone star state. The only trip ive had out of Texas that I really enjoyed was in deeeep south Louisiana, and that's just because they fed us like kings.
Oh and the houstonians should get the humor and irony behind the Astros tat.
I worked with an illegal once who had Houston's skyline tatted on his neck and the Astros star on his face like Tyson and a full sleeve the said " HOUSTONE" I told him he spelled it wrong we both laughed and he's still a friend to this day.
