Tex (no more irish?)

I didn't pay attention that they would be using nicknames when I sighed up. I'm still Irish = O'Brien.

What surprised me is that I was able to get the texirish moniker when I first started using the internet back in the dial-up modem days. That's when I got started with the old AOL BRK board - mid 90's. Spent a year or so getting educated on BRK from people like Tode, Robsny, and many others. I believed WEB when he said BRK was overpriced at $35k in 1995 so I waited until it hit $30k in 1996 to dive in. Missed the first gathering of the Yellow BRK'ers in 1997 and attended my first annual meeting in 1998.

A lot of Irish moved to Texas when the area was still under Mexico - a Catholic country, so a natural choice back then. There's a long history.

Actually I'm still working on my Texas citizenship. Moved into the state in 1960 so I'm still on probation. But daughter and grandkids are Texan.
