weren't you moving?

Not that I know of, at this time anyway.

why do they care about bumming? as long as people aren't doing it out in the open or in front of children then it doesn't matter!

And really, even in the open would be OK if it was a secluded place. I mean, I think so...anyway, um, well...oh never mind.

Funny thing is that NONE of that is illegal in Vermont and there is not a single strip club in the state!

Strip clubs, like alcohol, are allowed on a county-by-county basis here. You can always tell where the dry counties lines are, because on the other side there are usually about a dozen liquor stores/"gentleman's" clubs.

I grew up in West Texas in a dry county. A friend of mine when we were teenagers made a pretty good living driving a car with a big trunk and a big v-8 very fast on Hwy 84 to Waco for alcohol and brought it back to sell to thirsty people. He could make the run, 90 miles each way, in under 3 hours, including time for buying and loading up, and that was on two lane roads through little towns. He missed a bridge on the Lampassas river one night and they found the car three days later. He was still in it.

I lived in Dallas for years and there was no shortage of strip clubs with lunch buffets.

Sorry Charles. West of the Brazos is often considered West Texas. The river runs NW to SE so it becomes a moot point at some point. It runs through Waco and no one considers Waco west Texas. There are other demarcations. Fort worth, way east of where I lived, bills itself as "where the west begins". Some say it is the Ranger escarpment, some ways west of Ft. Worth, still east of my home. "West Texas" is as much a mindset, geographic conditions, dialect, accent, and even annual rainfall amounts, but the cross-timbers/mesa region where I grew up is considered by anyone to be "west Texas".

Can also be breeding. In east Texas, they say, the "family trees don't branch"

I am from Runnel's county, between Abilene and San Angelo. Border line by your estimation.

I never gave much credence to the "west of the Brazos" believers thinking they were probably jealous east Texans, but I could go for the "Ft. Worth and west" group because at least mentally there is a big difference. I went to a meeting in Ft. Worth once from my office in Dallas, a downtown skyscraper and was described to the guy that would meet me in the lobby as "the guy wearing a tie" I took off my tie just to fool them!
