I do recall the bejeweled women from Beaumont who used to make u-turns to steal parking spaces from those of us who were obeying the law, and who used to steal sugar from the Chautauqua cafeteria during WWII when sugar was rationed. They'd just turn the sugar bowl upside down in their purses, then sit there bold as brass complaining the sugar bowl was empty. Beaumont isn't really Texas, Margaret. Lots of folks are convinced that it's nothing more than a breeding grounds for Lousy-anna scallywags. Don't know many Texans that claim Beaumont-Lousy-Anna-type-Scallywags as fittin' to belong to The Great State <bg>. Catharine
