***** Texas Saturday Breakfast *****

Yessiree! New Taco Time! Saturday Breakfast In Place time! Bring out the Drones! The NewTexas Happy Taco Stands, in conjunction with the NewTexas Incendiary Corporation, has approximately 1 trillion of the fastest, lightest drones you have ever seen. This fleet is specially designed to deliver tacos to every man, woman, child, whatever, in Texas, all 2,385,265,000,000 of you.

Today's special breakfast will Saturday Pork Rib & Egg & Cheese Breakfast Tacos [COVID-19 Week XXX Edition]! The Head Smoker at the NewTexas Happy Taco Stands got started a day early for this special new taco. He stayed up all night the night before smoking a couple of hundred million tons of Berkshire Pork St. Louis Ribs just so that he could put them in the fridge, a really, really big one. Last night all the meat was removed from the bones to make this glorious taco. The rib meat is gently heated in the notorious black cast iron skillets with diced potatoes and red onions to form a hash that is then gently placed upon a pile of hearty, rich, yellow, genuine Texas Grade AA scrambled eggs! The hardy mix is wrapped up nice and snugly in not one, but two sturdy corn tortillas, made fresh, in-house, with love. A whole egg in every taco!®

Today's Special Salsa is - Chile Quemado - a fiery roasted salsa made from tomatoes, onions, garlic, and jalapeños roasted fresh on the grill. A sealed cup of Texas-made Monterrey Jack cheese is also included in case you need a cheese fix. The tacos are hermetically-sealed in a Stay-Warm® pouch that is wrapped in the same ol' aluminum foil we are all so familiar with for our breakfast taco. The Juice Bar will not be possible this week. But, for your beverage needs, a packet of Sanka, Tang and a Lipton Tea bag will be included with every delivery as well as salt and pepper and a napkin. Yes, it is different, but it works and you do not even have to leave your residence. Woo! And, watch out for the drones! Start your day off the right way; munch out and go back to sleep. You know you want to!®

Stay Safe Texas. Stay Well.

***** Texas Shout Outs *****

@ Trecdom2 Happy Birthday, Trecdom2! Mr. Secretary of State, you currently hold the distinction of being the oldest active player in Texas and you have the longest tenure of any nation in Texas government having held virtually every position available and many unavailable. Trec arrived in Texas on 09/19/2006 from Zebra Ice Station as The Allied States of Trecdom. Our first thought was, this is one cool dude. Ice Station Zebra is one of our favorite movies of all time and had not even thought of it in 20 years. It turns out, we were right. Trec is a cool dude and definitely deserves the title Honorary Texan IRL. And in NS, Dedicated Texan is the best description. Happy Birthday, Buddy!

@ Fort verden - Get well soon Verner, Buddy!
