Yankee? I thought you were a Canuck. I've convinced more than a few southerners that if you're from a place that wasn't even a state during the Civil war, you can't be a Yankee.
Born and raised in Ohio. Missed the whole Civil War thing as my grandfather didn't arrive from Europe until 1896.
But yeah, until I moved to Texas last November I had lived in Canada 7 of the last 8 years, with a year in Sweden thrown in just to be the "oil boy" for the Swedish Bikini Team!
