    Do you know who else put a texan in most of his novels?
    Ian Fleming. Bond’s CIA counterpart, Felix Leiter.
    Fleming made it a point to express how Bond liked texans.
    I wonder how both Fleming and Bond would feel nowadays.

    One weird bit was if they were caught in some sort of gunfight or scuffle, Leiter would cry out “Santiago!”, to identify himself to Bond, because it seems that the Spanish translation of “James” is NOT “Jaime”, BUT “Santiago”.
    According to Ian Fleming, at least.
