Texans and Californians: We are both Westerners
From your (Texas) history as a part of Spain, that became a part of Mexico, that became a country, and then part of the USA, the CSA and then the USA again. From our (California) history as a part of Spain, that became part of Mexico, that became a country, and then part of the USA.

You had the Rio Grande, we had the Mission Trail.

You had Willie Nelson, we had Jerry Garcia.

You had Stevie Ray Vaughn, we had Eddie Van Halen.

You had JFK, we had RFK.

You had the Alamo, we had Sonoma.

You guys have that great BBQ, we have that great Merlot.

Here's to being Americans.

A toast!
