Maybe you should consider the fact that I travel south quite frequently and have been in Virginia all summer working for the Federal Reserve.

Last I checked the federal reserve is in DC, not Virginia.

Also, I hate to break it to you man, but being a federal worker in Northern Virginia is not going to give you a particularly good picture of southern culture...

Yeah which is why the author wanted to keep it in the north, but considering the discussion about different cultures surely it falls squarely in the southern camp?

Yes. It's ridiculous. Texas is more different from the rest of America than any other state, I would guess. Note I've never been there (apart from being stuck at the Houston airport for a couple hours), so I'm just going off what I've heard.
