Thanks to JR Gonzales at the Chronicle, here's one of the late great Sig Byrd's columns from 1954, with a few of his famously droll observations about life in Houston and other Texas places.

Sig Byrd was one of the great ones, and he was one of the last of that early and mid 19th century breed of newspapermen who really wore out the shoe leather talking to people and gathering stories.
