    You aren't in the right tax bracket to refer to Austin as a logistical point, sir.

    I'm doing it anyway. You can't co-opt a point of a compass no matter how pompous. .

    South Texas, West Texas, East Texas and North Texas all disagree with you.

    I hear it's pretty good, though! Not like the landscaping bricks usually sold as fruit cake! Yes, I've been meaning to try some. I admit it. :(

    You can make the case that West, TX is in either Central Texas or North Texas but I don't care, those kolache are the bomb.

    Not my thing but they're edible, as opposed to other fruitcakes. The key is to soak it in rum overnight.
