Well, I've never been to the South (or Mid-West, East Coast, Texas, or even Las Vegas).  Am I missing out on personal riches?


Is Texas considered The South? Or is it its own thing? @GravitySucks  do you have thoughts on this?

Las Vegas is California, everyone knows that.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Huh.  I would have guessed scallywag was a pirate thing.
It is, but it is also other things.

Was out scrapping ice of the steps and doing other stuff in the cold.  Thought to myself
"Self.  A grilled cheese and some soup would be good for lunch".  So went over to the Panera Bread for the first time in forever.

Grilled cheese, soup and a drink was like eighteen bucks. Grilled cheese was ok but the soup was down right bad. Pretty disappointing.

Nope.

Denver (located in north-central Colorado, around 39.7°N latitude and 105°W longitude) fell well outside this claimed territory. The Republic’s claims in Colorado were limited to western and southern portions (e.g., areas around the headwaters of the Rio Grande, including places like modern Aspen, Vail, Crested Butte, and Steamboat Springs in the southwest and west-central parts of the state). Eastern and central Colorado, including the Denver area, were not included in Texas’ claims.

They've got Oakland's sports teams.
