Go Texan Day forecasts a parade, livestock show and rodeo

Five things to remember about Go Texan Day:
1. There is a certain species of secretary, usually from Deer Park or Pasadena, who thinks the ultimate in flirtatious dress is a Western outfit. They therefore will produce slightly more swing to the hips as they trapise around, convinced that every male they pass is secretly harboring cowgirl fantasies. They are wrong.

2. The male executive who decides to "Go Texan" today will also assume he will need to speak in a booming voice and laugh louder than usual at the office repartee.

3. On the plus side, there's nothing cuter than little kids going Texan at school celebrations. Not high school, though.

4. The trail rides are a wondeful, defiant anachronism that celebrates the bestof hardy Texas pioneers and are to be cherished. Until you're sitting in a traffic jam because some group of idiots decides they want t o play cowboys-and-indians for a day.

5. Really, visitors -- WE DON'T DRESS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME.
