There is a logic: Can/Aus/NZ are all Commonwealth Realms/former British dominions with Elizabeth II as the monarch.

But maybe Canadians rather prefer to be bundled with the US?

Or the Québécoises with France?

Anyway, the logic seemed OK to me when I made the categories, hope I didn't hurt anyone's national feelings!

Lived in Texas, USA (the Dallas area) for most all of my life, aside from a brief stint in Alabama.
So, uh, howdy y'all!--and so forth and so on.

For some reason I want to sing the "Bonanza" theme now.

Maybe because I don't really know the "Dallas" theme...

Canada/Austrailia/New Zealand
Interestingly enough, though I've never been much of a traveller, 2 of the few places I'd consider seeing would be Austrailia and New Zealand.
Coincidental........I think not .

Well, to be honest, I don't know it either. Dallas (the city) is basically known for three things: President Kennedy's death, the Dallas Cowboys (American football team) and the Dallas TV show. And yet, I've never seen the show, I don't like American football (I much prefer basketball--speaking of which, is Dirk Nowitzki well known in Germany?) and I've never been to the plaza where Kennedy was shot. I'm a failure as a Dallasite.

That reminds me, season seven of Dallas comes out on DVD next month, time to preorder.

Now watch the Dallas credits, the theme tune is great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcU3iPO8G7w
