U.S. State Curiosities

by John Kelso

Texas Curiosities is your round-trip ticket to more than 225 of the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Lone Star State has to offer. Humor columnist John Kelso has traveled thousands of Texas miles in search of the one-of-a-kind gems that make his home state truly unique. You'll meet a man who hammers nails up his nose, a woman who dresses her car like a cow, and a family of champion bubbleblowers. You'll discover the best places to savor fried rattlesnake, chicken-fried bacon, the world's largest fruitcake, and other Texas delicacies. You'll visit faraway places such as Paris, Graceland, Los Angeles, and even Stonehenge...and you'll be home in time for dinner! Whether you're Texas born and raised or a recent transplant, John Kelso's home-grown humor will have you laughing out loud as he introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you existed-right in your own backyard. So sit back in your easy chair, put up your feet, and get ready for a road trip you'll never forget!
