It would appear that I should bookmark blackbiped's blog. Bad enough, though, that I regularly interact with one Texan in the form of oldmanster ... two, I fear, would result in my being excommunicated from the ranks of native Arkansans. I'm already on shaky enough ground from having grown up only about 40 miles from Texarkana (the Louisiana state line was even closer -- more like 20 miles), which means my formative years were spent watching pretty much the same Shreveport TV stations as bb. (As I've noted before, back in the BC era, Before Cable, the capital of Southwest Arkansas was Shreveport; I gather the same was largely true of East Texas.)
