For those who are members of the American College of Heraldry and have just received volume 15 of _The Heraldic Register of America_ (page 66), I would like to point out that I am not from Texas.
I thought this was worth mentioning to those of you who are members of the ACH or who receive _The Heraldic Register of America_.
:p :boohoo: :boohoo:
Lyrics: "That’s right, you’re not from Texas"
(Lyle Lovett/Willis Alan Ramsey/Alison Rogers)
You say you’re not from Texas
Man as if I couldn’t tell
You think you pull your boots on right
And wear your hat so well
So pardon me my laughter
‘Cause I sure do understand
Even Moses got excited
When he saw the promised land
That’s right you’re not from Texas
That’s right you’re not from Texas
That’s right you’re not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway
That’s right you’re not from Texas
That’s right you’re not from Texas
That’s right you’re not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway
etc…....

I have never lived in Texas, although I am sure it is a fine place to live; in fact, all of my known ancestors are from the North, mostly New England. I did have a great, great, great-grandfather who moved to Texas, but his children were born in Indiana (the one from whom I am descended lived in Iowa). Again, I am sure that Texas is a fine place, it’s just that I have never lived there.

I would never doubt your veracity. Besides, here on the East Coast we tend to call anything west of Pennsylvania and east of California "the Midwest".

When I lived in Texas, we used the same term for the rest of the United States!
I thought the definition of a Texan was a Mexican on his way to Oklahoma.
Although my McMillan grandparents were briefly Texans, which in their case would have meant two Alabamians on their way back to Alabama. And to think, there but for the grace of God…
Ah Ed…we Coloradoans love Texans. They are looked at just like the rest of us cowboys - nothing but country bumpkins. In many ways Texans and Coloradoans have much in common.
And hey…you have the greatest ‘rocker’ of all time living there - Ted "Red, White & Blue" Nugent.
