    Texas has the best-looking "apostate" women!
    If you have any doubt, look at the two pics above my pointy head.

    Gotta love Texas!

    Hopefully I qualify as a Texan through my mom's side. Her grandmother moved from Ireland (via NY) to Texas in the late 1890's. Settled between Dallas and Houston in Fairfield.

    I have been traveling to the state of for the past 20 years, and have always been made to feel like I am welcome.

    I don't care for the weather much, but the land, people and size make up for all of it.

    Yeeeeehaaaaaaa!

    Hey Closer and ya'll

    Well little lady, Texas is fine and dandy and all but I am afraid Michigan is another very distinctive looking state too. Not to mention the fact that anyone from Michigan can show you *where* they live in Michigan by using their hand as a map. Yes indeedy, everybody, with at least one hand intact, has their own map of Michigan already. Much easier for the kid on any street in Japan to identify than drawing it in the filth in the street.

    Regards,
    Julie

    Julie--recent history shows that most of MI migrated to Texas in 1975-1982 or so. The dreaded invasion of the "Black Taggers".
    That incursion seems to be the cause of the urban sprawl now found in the Houston area. Of course, during the Bush years oil and aerospace dried up in Texas and many of the Michganders returned to their home range.

    Being exiled to MI myself (unrelated to any Texas circumstances) I have noticed that the offspring of those folks has caused a great misrepresentation of the terms "cowboy" and "redneck" here in MI. A 4x pickup truck with the stars and bars occupied by race baiting crackers is neither representative of "cowboys" or "rednecks". A Garth Brooks CD and line dancing lessons dont quailfy folks for that either. (anybody know "Merle", "Johhny", "Lefty", or any of the "Opry" greats?) Also straw hats worn after labor day are a dead givaway. Acme and "dingo" boots show the "wanna-bes'" hand, too.

    By the way "hillbilly"--- has been defined as a Michigan bean farmer. Being a native Michigander , born of expatriated southern parents, with Oklahoma, Minnesota, and other southern and Great Plains connections in the gene pool. I figured Hillbilly was a good handle for me. Although I do rope , ride, sort cattle, buy and sell hay, own a pick up and stock trailer, since"Cowboy" was in use by an Oklahoman.

    I did consider "team roper", "spurs"," goat roper" and" sheepherder" as a handle but most of those terms could be construed as someone into green mowhawk haircuts or bondage by those in the general population.
