Texas is Now Part of France

Texas may have become part of France.

Or perhaps the other way around.

Since my last trip to Europe in 2009, I've become accustomed to the utility of my smart phone: mapping, asking Mr. Google questions, etc.

This trip I wanted data service in Europe. On the other hand, I did not want to pay the arm and the leg that my Stateside phone provider wanted to charge.

Much cheaper rates can be found. The provider I selected offered 1 gigabyte of data and 240 minutes of phone calls (including calls back to the states) all for the low price of 10€ (about $11). No contract. No setup fee. Such a deal!

I requested their starter package.

A couple of weeks later it arrived.

As you can see in the image, the French have apparently annexed Texas.

I wonder if they are still upset over that whole Freedom Fries thing.
