I guess I will have to claim the green light like Barry for my avatar.
My username has been with me since the first day I walked into the dorm of collage. I wasn't really a cowboy but I looked like one that first day. Someone called me "Tex" and it stuck. At least 90% of my friends in school never even knew my real name. As the years went by I keep adding X's for each decade that I lived but had to stop since it was getting to long.
