Florida doesn't count!) See, I've never understood those boundaries. I was born in North Carolina, spent 1/5th of my life in Texas and the rest in Va., home of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson (and his shrine), and the captial of the Confederacy as well as the greatest Rebel spy, Rosie O'Neal Greenhow.

I still have a pretty thick drawl even after living right outside of DC for most of my life and even retain a fondness for grits. > PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS (TOO) SERIOUSLY!!! Why sir, matters concerning the War of Northern Agression are always serious in nature!! ;) Deb Fuller, ya'll
