Texas (and again, lots of Oklahoma) are just not cut from the same branch of the "Southwestern" tree.

An analogy might be a bunch of folks named "Smith" getting together. They might share a surname...but not actually be kin to one another in the way such is commonly understood...
Absolutely my good, Friend!

And I'm likin' your status....but I'm also jealous. My son caught his first catfish last week. I thought he was likened to just die of excitement. Nothin' like fishin' as we say in our family.

Why is Colorado not a choice on the poll? I choose CO.

Wyoming, because it is the least populated state in the US, and because there are no big cities. Even Alaska has more density in Anchorage than Cheyenne could ever imagine. However, you can get to Denver in a couple hours. Thank God.

Missouri. Jesse James was from there, as well as many, many others....
Missouri used to be the "west", when it was wild.

I just happened to see this in a local paper today:

Show-Me State home to notorious criminals - Independence, MO - The Examiner
