Washington.

I grew up in eastern Washington but now I work for a large airplane manufacturer in western Washington. (I actually work on the defense side of the business. Bombs 'R Us!) Spent some time in Illinois, glad to be back in the Pacific Northwest.

PapaBear: every state in the Union is a republic (at least, it's required by the federal Constitution to have a republican form of government).

BTW, I'm posting from California and thus Fort Worth isn't where the west begins...it's back East!

Yes, and the one other Columbus native that I'm aware of hasn't posted to this thread yet. Actually, he doesn't post to this board much at all, but I've seen a few from him recently.
