It was heck of a story when visited Texas last time. As soon as I got out of DFW airport, a cowboy was there pointing his gun at me. Fortunately, my fair skin (compared to most of the Nepali) and punk dyed hair saved my life. Most of the brown and black as$es were either shot dead or licking white balls. Temperature was in 60s in the month of January. I was feeling like I am in some part of Sahara when the sun was in zenith because I hail from mid-west. ......... Do you want the full story or that is enough?

Looks like you have a lot of presumptions. I assume that you got that info from a broken radio (someone who gives you half baked info) and I am sorry for my assumption.  You may go through this:
