I'd be curious to know where all of you think Texas falls. 
It falls in two time zones mountain and (mostly) central. 
We have the most geographical southern land in the U.S., 
the state is full of Republicans, Confederate sympathy, 
people say y'all, and grits are widely available on menus. 
Although some people consider the Mississippi River the 
division, technically the west begins at the 100th 
meridian and I live at 99.97 so then I am in the 
westernmost part of the east. The only thing I am 
absolutely sure of is I don't live in the north!
