Texican is a common word where I live. I doubt anything you write would be classified as rubbish, Terry. I absolutely love your sense of humor. Keep penning, please!

LOL Terry. In the 18th and 19th centuries, different folks used the terms Texans, Texians, Texonians, Texasians, Texicans, and Tejanos. It appears after the Revolution, peoples typically opted for Texian until annexation and statehood, then Texan became common. We need to find that guy who took the lexicon and get it back! Linda :))

I have a few that have had no comments and I feel the same way sometimes...maybe it's just rubbish. Personally, I think even rubbish needs a good look in case something fell in by accident ;))

Thanks for visiting this one, Linda. I had presumed that either no one ‘got it’ or that it was just plain rubbish. ;-)
