Apparently, there are still areas of the nation where the first question out of someone’s mouth when they meet you does not involve what you do for work, where you live and what kind of car you drive.

Actually, in Dallas, it does matter what kind of car you drive and where you live; in Fort Worth, it doesn’t. I didn’t understand the micro-environments when I first moved here, and it’s funny how that stuff works. I go into Fort Worth all the time, Dallas only when I have to.
