Don't Mess with Texas

We have been entertaining our in-laws from Houston Texas and we secured a Texas flag to run up the flagpole for their arrival which was well received. Except that I had flown it upside down which is normally a sign of distress. I learned belatedly that the Lone Star should point upward and the red representing the blood of the Alamo should be on the bottom. I was properly chastised and the situation was corrected to avoid a border incident. This Yankee boy said he didn't receive any instructions with the flag. Anyway, all is well with family relations.
