You can take the boy out of Texas, but not the small town South Texas outta the boy! Mary 3 years ago Being a native Texan sure helps with this one! I got em all right. Patty L 3 years ago 8/11… Not too bad for a Wisconsin native? Helen 3 years ago I guess all the John Wayne movies weren’t enough! 4/11 ???? Jones 3 years ago Not too bad for a Michigan kid. Nine out of eleven. Almost enough to make me an honorary Texican! Jimmy J 3 years ago I once lived in a hilltop house that was a stopping point for the Chisholm Trail cattle drives. At night it could be seen for about 15 miles in the day. Down stairs was the saloon, which we used for a rather large dining room. We rebuilt a 1957 Chevy that we had to roll down the hill to get it started the first time. (We didn’t build that car so it would go slow.) The speedometer was pegged in second gear at 120+ mph, and didn’t come off the peg shifting to third. The tires were still smoking in third (high) gear. At the track it did under 12 seconds, and 140 mph, but my motorcycle would STILL our run it. It was happy times. San Antonio is my home town so I know just a little about Davey Crockett. Best fish “Story” is how I hate to go fishing at Port Aransas, because renting a box car for the fish was too expensive. Now we have to use 5 18 wheelers. Yes all 11 correct, of course. No questions about Danevang, my dad’s home town. Dad had to teach his dog to wag his tail up and down so it wouldn’t be leaving town. 254 counties and 232 of them are bigger that Rhode Island! I love MY Texas. Thanks for including it this weeks puzzles and quizzes. Ruth Pierce 3 years ago 8/11. I’ve been to Texas a few times but several of my answers were just guesses. Have a great weekend everyone! Carol 3 years ago Don’t know much about Texas outside the Alamo! Only been there a couple times for work and like the state. Judith Dunn 3 years ago 10/11 Not bad for a California Girl now in Washington Rick J. 3 years ago 5/11 guess I don’t know much about Texas…However I can find it on a map, and have missed very few Austin City Limits shows. Great live music!! Robert S. 3 years ago I am getting really tired of the constant problems with this particular game. I mark an answer and submit and it tells me that I have not marked an answer, but I can see right on the screen that I have. My trying to fix this very often leads to the program telling me that I have answered incrrectly when I haven’t. These games are suppose to be fun, but this one isn’t anymore. Does anyone from Amac check these comments? Kathryn M. 3 years ago Not too bad. 7/11. I’ve done worse before. LOL George Giovanni 3 years ago 8 of 11. Thats a lot of counties! Bonnie 3 years ago 10 out of 11. Guessed on some though. S Smith 3 years ago I guess if we look at these quizzes as a learning experience then it doesn’t really matter what our score is? I just wonder who puts these quizzes together and why they can’t get spelling and grammar correct. Who was the first “women” governor? How about the correct “woman” governor. I think you need a proofreader. Praisemed 3 years ago The only quiz I got all the questions right. Can you guess that I am a Texas. I had to guess on one of them but it was an educated guess. John 3 years ago 9/11. Never been there so I’m happy…. Carol 3 years ago Got 8 out of11. Paul Lubell 3 years ago 10/11. The only perfect scores were from Texans and I am from the east coast. Always thought “Texas” came from Spanish, (wrong) but never knew what it meant. Jim Shedd 3 years ago 7/11. Despite two tours of duty plus at least another year spent in training there there is still a lot I don’t know about Texas. Some right answers were lucky guesses. Edward T Curtis 3 years ago I love Texas, or should I say, “loved”. I cannot believe the liberal changes being made in the state, Pretty soon people will be “poopin” in the streets like San Francisco! Susan P 3 years ago 11 for 11. Guess the time this gal spent in Texas working for Bell Helicopter paid off. wpDiscuz290Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
