Further OT:

This sentence, from a piece about proposed gun legislation in Texas, just reminds me of how difficult it is for me to understand that state:

A bill filed by Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, would add handguns, rifles, shotguns and ammunition to the list of back-to-school items that can be bought tax-free during the tax-free weekend.

WTF!? Guns as back-to-school items? Really, Texas?
