@CheesyFox I had that happen when I was in Carlsbad New Mexico, which on the west part of the Permian Basin Oil field (Texas has the eastern side) . I was in the hotel elevator and an oilfield worker got on and said ‘what brings you to Texas’. That’s not the first time I’ve had a Texan say that to me in various places. Texas is wherever they are, apparently.
we definitely should investigate your hypothesis

What i had in mind is to ask a Texan to point out a random place on the map and then go check whether it is an oilfield :D
