Let's have a little fun!

Being lucky enough to live in East and West Texas in my life, I have observed a few similarities, and a few differences.

Here's a little taste of my running list:

West Texas has dust/East Texas...red dirt
West Texas...Mesquite trees/East Texas...Pine trees
West Texas...oil wells/East Texas...natural gas wells
West Texas...stock tanks/East Texas...ponds
West Texas...cattle ranches/East Texas...chicken farms
West Texas...town every 50 miles/East Texas...every 10 miles
West Texas...fire wood/East Texas...pulp wood
West Texas...Walmart/East Texas...Walmart
West Texas...14 point bucks/East Texas 11 point bucks
West Texas...dove and phesants/East Texas squirrels and racoons
.....actually squirrels and racoons....West Texas...road kill/East Texas...dinner

West Texas...Town & Country and Allsups/East Texas...Kidd Jones and Polks
West Texas...Concrete Slab/East Texas...Peir and Beam
West Texas...multiple RV sales lots/East Texas...multiple trailer home sales lots
West Texas...HEB Grocery Store/East Texas...Brookshire Bros.
West Texas..."heart"/East Texas..."speed"
West Texas...Tombstone/East Texas...Deliverance
West Texas...Football is king/East Texas...Football is king

Those of you that have experienced both, what have I missed?

I will say that there are more athletes in East Texas, I do think that in West Texas, the kids are tougher.  I'm not saying that there is no toughness in East Texas because I know there is, toughness is all over Texas.  But as far as travel time and playing the elements, West Texas is tougher.  They can't match the speed of the game year in and year out that lives in East Texas though.
