Reader David J. White, who lives in Waco, sends in this photo of a must-have item he saw in a local grocery store. My wife is in College Station this weekend with our son Matt at a Texas A&M physics event. I hope she will find one of these and bring it back. There is no state in the Union that would have the audacity to come up with a burger press shaped like itself. I love Texas for that.

My wife is a University of Texas at Austin graduate, which means her school and Texas A&M are bitter rivals. Everything has been so terrific at the science event, though, that Julie texted:

Impossible to diss such greatness. Just looking for Longhorn grief counselors.

Ouch. That’s gotta hurt Longhorn nation. But she’s honest. This morning at the Rural Homestead, an exhibit at our town’s annual history and culture festival, I ran into a couple of Aggie friends (below) who nearly held me down and gave me a Texas titty twister for having made Facebook fun of Aggie science (How many Aggies does it take to screw in a light bulb? One, but he gets 3 hours engineering school credit.) Hey, I was just trying to hold the end of my marital bargain! Boy, are Mrs. Dreher and I going to be abashed if our teenage science geek ends up at A&M, and becomes one of these Defenders Of Aggie Honor:
