They're Messing With Texas

Dear Mr. Covington:

I've started reading your novels and have listened to your podcasts. I am inspired and would like you to send me some pamphlets that I can leave on the doors of my few remaining white neighbors. They  keep leaving their once white neighborhoods and trying to move to  less black or Mexican one's instead of leaving Texas altogether and  heading Northwest, which is what I'm working on doing. Here's my address: [redacted for obvious reasons]

Dear Kenny:

I actually came up here from Texas myself. One of the things I noticed before I left was that when you went into a grocery store or Wal-Mart or some other public place, the checkout people greeted you in Spanish first. So I know where you're coming from. Literally.
