Where is everybody from?
iristarr:
This old Brokeback broad is from way Northern California, the smallish city of Eureka, (although my heart is sometimes in NYC, where long ago I spent five years). I haven't found any Brokaholics here; there must be few but they sure aren't making themselves known. Awful sorry I missed the SF/Castro event, but I've been away from this site for a couple of months and had just started coming back. I gotta say I'm really enjoying the friendly Tremblays and all the other more recent visitors. The spirit is high here. Ciao, Iris/Elaine ;)

Roland - I am familiar with Toronto! I drove through it twice on my way to beautiful Quebec! I wish we would have stopped and stayed for awhile. It looked like a very nice city.

Hi Iris/Elaine... I have never been to Eureka, but I have certainly heard of it! Yes, the spirit does seem high here! I look forward to reading your posts.

I am from Texas, a native of that state, born in Grand Prairie (part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area), but resident in the beautiful capital of Austin since 1973 (when I was six years old). I'm a city boy through and through, but just a couple of generations removed from farming and ranching folk. A great-uncle of mine was a real-life cowboy, and my mother tells me that Ennis reminded her a lot of him. One of my direct ancestors (the father or grandfather of a great-grandmother) has also been described as a "cowpuncher", and a great-grandfather was a ranch man turned farmer.
Texas is an unusual state in being at the confluence of the South, Midwest, and Southwest. I opted for U.S. Southwest in the poll, but Texas has a little of the other two in the mix as well. Never been to Childress, Jack's Lone Star home; that might prove a good pilgrimage destination in the future.
Cheers,
:)

Hey Scott! Thanks for responding! I look forward to reading your posts too. I have been to Austin and Houston before. And a very quick stop in Dallas once. Texas is a wonderful state! You have a little bit of EVERYTHING there!
I have to ask though.... what is a cowpuncher? ???

I was born in Boston but I now live in Tucson, AZ.
I've lived in California, Oregon, New York, Osaka Japan, Penang Malaysia, and La Paz Mexico.

Hi Gregg.. I am already familiar with your part of the country from your beautiful pictures... thanks for sharing them with us! I am also reading your journal. Thanks for all your input here! I appreciate it! By the way, Boston is a great city too! :)

Giancarlo... you had several ways you could have voted... Western Europe, Southern Europe, or Western U.S.! Maybe I should have put a Southwestern Europe on the list... but I was afraid I was going to run out of room. Thanks for all the pictures you post on here. I enjoy looking at them, although the pictures of the paella did make me hungry! ;)
I think I am going to have to continue this on another post.... it's getting long! :)
