Having lived and gone to college in Oklahoma and currently living in Texas, there's certain things I like and dislike about both states. (I'm a native New Yawker that grew up in the unofficial 'sixth borough' of NYC - South Florida.)
And, besides, I am proud to call myself a 'Tex-Okie Mason', holding a perpetual membership in an Oklahoma Masonic lodge. (I haven't bought a perpetual membership in Texas yet).
California was a republic - very briefly - before it became a state, which is why the state flag reads 'CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC'.
