It was brought to my attention that there was no slavery in Texas at that time. I mispoke when I said the Rand woman was born in Texas, she lived in Virginia (A SLAVE STATE) or something and lived with her “friend” and his wife and then they moved to Texas. You do the math….

And BTW–you should have a comments box on every one of your brilliant posts (especially since I did a search and made sure you didn’t say anything mean and ridiculous about me, lol) but seriously, when my new site goes live you will be at the top of my blogroll, and I intend to shout your name from hill tops, or at least from the third floor of barney’s, on the 2 train uptown, and at the jamba juice in Kahului that I go to everyday.
