thanks for sharing it

I think, too, that while some will define Texas as being in the South, I noticed it wasn't mentioned in this story (except in reference to a burger chain.) So, I'd guess the author is one that doesn't consider us as part of the South. I don't either, really. Yes, we were in the Civil War, but when I learned Texas history, we really just kind of breezed over that part, like it really wasn't as important as the rest of our in-state history.

But we're still just as reviled on DU...
