Why Does Google Think I Live in Texas? A Modern Mystery
So, I've been having this weird thing happen. Google thinks I'm a Texan. Like, full-blown, cowboy hat, boot-scootin' kind of Texan. And let me tell you, I've never even seen a tumbleweed in person. I'm about as Texan as a penguin in the Sahara.

The Great Google Location Blunder
It started innocently enough. I was searching for the nearest coffee shop, and up pops a list of places in Dallas. Dallas? I’m not even sure where that is on a map, let alone living there. I dismissed it as a one-time glitch. But then, Google Maps started suggesting routes to Austin. Austin! Home of weird food trucks and live music (apparently). I’m starting to think Google has a serious case of mistaken identity.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
Conspiracy Theories or Technical Glitches?
I've considered all the possibilities. Maybe I'm a long-lost heir to a Texas oil fortune and Google is trying to reunite me with my roots. Or perhaps there's a secret government program that's relocated me to Texas without my knowledge.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
But let's be real, it's probably just a tech glitch. You know, the same kind of glitch that makes your phone autocorrect "duck" to "duckling." But still, it's kinda funny to imagine myself as a Texan. I could totally pull off the whole "y'all" thing.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
