I have ancestors who fought for both sides in the civil war, many great-greats who fought the against the US Cavalry, (probably some who helped them too) and recently found out that one branch of the tree included some Hessains at Trenton who decided to stay after the revolution.

Guess that makes me an American. Born in AZ.

You should use a better marker. Maybe the Waffle House line?

And I had always thought the divider was the Manson/Nixon line...

Nether. I'm an American. Lived around this country. It's the same with a local flavor all their own. That's whats great about this country.
By the way, grew up in SoCal. Haven't lived there since '78.

Come to Texas, Creamo. Most Texans are still fiercely loyal to their state and the fact that it was a Nation first.

Ive done did that Sundiver.

Went around the Texas Motor Speedway at 100 mph in a bad van equipped with Firestone tires and toured the VIP boxes. (yup, it was great)

Went to a steakhouse and signed up as a special member just to order a drink, then went through a Liquor Barn that gave us booze via a drive-tru, and drove with a suspect drunk 17 miles away from a dry county to buy beer in a grocery store later that weekend.

Texans are more than accomodating, but live in Reno for mearly a month. You'll appreciate a state that not only is the wild west, they condone it.

Texans are diffrent. A bad Wrangler jean wearing populous with silly laws. And they actually believe they are wild cowboys. LOL

Pass.

Lived in Las Vegas for three years. Loved the night life but the damn summers are even hotter than in Texas.

Thats funny, reminds me of something my sister used to say.

She worked for an insurance company handling customer service calls from all over the country. She said the absolute stupidest people in the world were from Baltimore. She called em Baltimorons.
