Can't believe I've missed this thread all this time. My name is from my old CB radio handle from about 1970. I lived in Texas, and have/had red hair. Mostly bald now. I didn't realize that Texas Red was also the name of the outlaw that was killed in the shoot-out in Marty Robins' song 'Big Iron' until several days or weeks later.
When I started using the internet and email, I tried using texasred; but the name was taken. I tried texasraed7, then texasred77, and finally texasred777. Of course, as I have stated, the avatar is just from a poster and a picture that I've seen a few times. The rooster is red and looks a bit scraggly as I picture myself at almost 72 years old; but he is 'strutting his stuff'. That's the way I feel about myself. After all that I've been through, and almost 72 years old, I feel pretty proud of myself to have made it this far in life. By the way, the name of the poster that I saw was 'Struttin''.
