Take US80 east out of Dallas and you will see the black land and post oaks give way to sandy loam and tall pines. When you have crossed that gradual boundary you have entered the land known as the East Texas Piney Woods or semi-affectionally a the “Pine Curtain". This is an area not fully the "Deep South" and not fully Texas. Just outside of the town of Mineola, a few miles past the piney border resides Randy Brown , the purveyor of equal parts; hard truth and bald faced lies. He won't tell you which is which but will instead leave that I the listener to discern.
