“You got your West Texas, out there with a bunch of flat ranches. Up North you got them Dallas snobs with their Mercedes. And then you got Houston. The carcinogenic coast is what I call it, all the way up to Louisana. And then down South San Antonio. That’s where the Tex meets the Mex, like the food. And then in Central Texas you got the people’s republic of Austin. With a bunch of hairy legged women and liberal fruitcakes. Course I left out the pan handle, and a lot of people do. But, Carthage…this is where the South begins. This is life behind the pine curtain. And truth be known it’s a good place.”
