Deep south, for me = Alabama & Mississippi.  Maybe Georgia?

Texas is visiting friends in Austin and Ft. Worth, and a cousin in Dallas.
I've been to San Antonio - alas, over a very cold Christmas, when it snowed
on the Mexican border.  Not much fun!

Oklahoma, of course, is visiting Larry & Maggie in Ponca City!

Colorado is visiting friends in Denver & Boulder.

The deep south is the great unknown for me....
