I prefer to call myself a TEXAN. What I call a Yankee is someone from, say, New Yooork. My idea of where Yankees live is anywhere east of the Dakotas and north Tennessee and the Carolinas. Although, my SO says they start anywhere north of Dallas. Native Texan and proud of it. M.E. Middleton PS I really don't really mind Yankees as long as they're just visiting.

...and I really don't mind Texans, as long as they stay down in Dallas and
keep the hell off of our ski slopes with their orange windbreakers and cowboy
hats. "Heell no we don't need no snow tires. It snowed two eenches down in
Dalllas last yar and we deed just fahn..." Like the bumper sticker I see
*here* all the time:
"If God had meant Texans to ski he would have made bullshit white"
Now, let's add several :-)'s to those articles, please! :-) :-)
