A Native Tennessean

Native born son of Texas here, officially recognizing that all Tennessean's are moved to the very front of the line, and grandfathered in, as recognition & appreciation for their heroic contributions to The Republic of Texas.

I love you guys.

Actually, we have the option of dividing into four more states. 10 Senators, not 8.

Wow...what would be their names?

East Texas, West Texas, Borderstan, Big Texan Burger in Amarillostan, Dallastan?

Thanks. My aunt lives in Texas. She was originally from West Tennessee where I was born, and she married a Native Texan and has lived down there ever since. She is in her 80’s and every time I read a headline or hear a blurb about some intruder in Texas being shot, I think to myself “uh-oh, the shooter just could be Aunt Mildred”. It never is, though, but she keeps her pistol handy just in case and so does her daughter. Ha. That’s Texas for you, and a whole lot Tennessee as well.
