Yes I live in Tax-achusettes  ::) Honostly I know not where it goes, as most of the state is still underfunded, and falling to bits. Still better than just about any state around us though.

I love Idaho's. ;D

Texas's confuses me.  I'm not sure if it means to say "Si, hablo Ingles" or "se habla Ingles".

Where's our resident spelling/grammar Nazi when you need him? ;D
