Well... Yeah. My parents are from different parts of Texas, I have friends
and family I've visited regularly in Texas and Georgia and Louisiana, and I
grew up around people from Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Arizona. I
have lived in Texas, and I now live in Utah. I think I've seen a fairly
good cross-section of Southern culture.
I've also been all over New England visiting friends and generally enjoying
the area. Perhaps that is what has biased me against the Southern states.

Too true. That, in essence, was my point. Thank you for agreeing with me,
Mike -- I'm touched.

I've seen this too, in several places in Texas and Utah. I'm sure it
happens elsewhere, too. I've just never seen it anywhere in the North.
