The local paper's Travel section had a couple of nice bits of Texana this past Sunday.

First, a selection of great burger joints easily accessible from the I-35 corridor, recorded here so that I can easily find their addresses in the future (I haven't tried any of these, but invite comments from my readers who have):

• Oma's Jiffy Burger, 403 Water St., Waxahachie, TX, 972-937-9190


• Health Camp, 2601 Circle Road, Waco, TX, 254-752-2081


• Chester's Hamburgers, 9980 W. Interstate Highway 10, San Antonio, TX, 210-699-1222


• Chris Madrid's, 1900 Blanco Road, San Antonio, TX, 210-735-3552


• Storm's Drive-In, 201 N. Key Ave., Lampasas, TX, 512-556-6269


• Alamo Springs General Store & Cafe, 107 Alamo Road, Fredericksburg, TX, 830-990-8004

(For an alternative take with much more detail on some different burger joints, check out the TexasBurgerGuy).

Second, a celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. I haven't had a chance to visit, but my wife did last year and raved about it. One of the museum's original exhibits was It Ain't Braggin' if It's True, which highlighted six prime Texas traits:

1. Vision


2. Pride


3. Friendship


4. Perseverance


5. Swagger


6. Showmanship

What do you think? Would you add or subtract any?
