H/T….to the world’s best research assistant, WeeWeed.  😉

Birthday shout-outs and high fives to our longtime compatriot, the respected and beloved citizen of both Texas and the Treehouse…”Texan59″. 😀

Tex has been hanging around the Treehouse for so long, we can’t imagine what life would be like without him.  Well…on second thought, we can imagine…B-O-R-I-N-G.  He’s the life of our party and a consummate raconteur par excellence.  You’ll usually find him conversing with one of our admins, another proud Texan called WeeWeed.

Two of the things we most admire about Tex are his affinity for Fridays and Bud Light beer, and the other would be his undying loyalty to the “Treehouse Tin Foil Society”.  That’s right….he’s all tin foil hat, and he’s got the cattle that wear ’em too.  

Tex spends his weekdays working in the big city of Houston, but after a long and tiring week, he’s able to retire to his secret hideaway far away from the hustle and bustle of big city life.   Tex doesn’t know it yet, but we’ve found the secret photos of his ranch house just outside of Houston……thanks Google Maps!  😀

Darn that Google.  They’ve even got a picture of the interior.  😀

Tex is also a devoted fan of the Longhorns (hook ’em horns),  and just recently got married to one of the most beautiful women in Texas….and that’s saying a lot.  Yes, our Tex knows he’s a very lucky man.   In fact, one of the women pictured below is rumored to be our Mrs. Tex.  (Of course the faces below have been altered to protect the innocent.)

Oh…and one more thing.  If anyone thinks that all the pictures of kitty cats and womenfolk mean that Texans are just a bunch of softies,  take a look at what Tex likes to wear to work…

Many, many wishes for the best birthday yet Tex.  And on this very special day, we should all remember to… “Come early, be loud, stay late, and wear orange.”  😀
