A to Z - Eye on Texas: I

Eye on Texas is NOT going to Italy, Texas.  I am making a rude assumption that they have bad pizza

Idalou, Texas is near Lubbock and involves cotton farming. Good for them, but does not make for a thrilling blog post.  Yawn

How about Iraan Texas - I bet that name can cause some issues these days, if you misspell it. This Pecos County town in West Texas was named after ranchland owners Ira and Ann Yates. 1926 discovery of oil is key to the boom growth at that time. Today the town of 1,600 has NO tourist attractions.

Let's throw in a bonus Downton quote from the Dowager - First electricity, now telephones. Sometimes I feel as if I'm living in an H.G.Wells novel.

So much for the Letter I

A to Z Challenge: me, my, I

I  - singular. It's all about the person.

2010 popular names -
boys: Isaac, Isaiah, Ian
girls: Isabella  (prettiest Isabella in my opinion is Isabella Rossellini - her mother was Ingrid Bergman - good genes all around)

For characters -
actually I've always liked Ian (Gaelic) from John, God is gracious
Ignatius (Latin) - a fiery man, one who is ardent. He's going to lead the fight
Ingram (Scandinavian)  a raven of peace.  He's going to quietly battle Ignatius and will win.

Ladies - step forward
Isaura (Greek) of the soft breeze.  She'll be the flighty best friend
Ita (irish) one who is thirsty - she shall always be seeking the truth
Iwa (Japanese) of strong character.  she'll stand her ground

Lots of strong "I" names - not a conventional letter obviously
