The Big Ticket area of east Texas is part of the south.

My feelings about "the South" fall along those lines . . . also why I call Idaho (my home state) and Utah the Deep South of the Great NorthWest. Great folks to be found in all states -- no doubt about that.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585969582693570200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351291409183975474.post-5415468290077144752016-08-21T17:31:09.155-04:002016-08-21T17:31:09.155-04:00The grey states minus Texas: that's the south....The grey states minus Texas: that's the south.
