I don't know crap about my new home...Oregon...except..these people know nothing about Tex -mex cooking...and you cant find good sweet tea if you got a gun to your head.

But...I love this place.

Besides that...I can tell you a few things about where I am from...

I am from the place where they hold the rattle snake round up...we got the largest stock pile of nuclear weapons...the best bar -Bq....and oprah winfrey is getting humped by a man from my home town.

Plus abilene Texas has had the Guinness record for most churches per capita...three times.

Not proud about that...but...it is slightly better than being known for where the Texas chainsaw massacre happened...32 miles from Abilene.....halfway to San Angelo

Oh crap.....please don't remember us for the massacre .....remember us for the guy who humps Oprah.
