So Texans ARE suspicious like Yankees

Inevetably I face some Yankee ribbings from the locals every now and then. They like to tell me how friendly everyone is here, how they smile, and they aren't so stuck up and suspicous like Yankees. But I would like to say after living here for a short time THAT IS A FACADE. They don't trust you. Everyone and their brother makes you put down a huge deposit for everything cuz they think you are gonna run off. I just got off the phone with the power company after they sent me a bill (and I've lived here for ...um...less than 2 weeks) for about half my months rent! (approx 3times what I will pay per month in electric). Maybe that's standard but give me a break! So I will get it back...some day in the distant future when I move out. Darn Texans with bad credit to ruin it for everyone!
