Did you know:
1) some Canadians live farther south than some Californians?
2) Oregon time zone is 1 hour behind Florida, and only 1 county is in Mountain Time
3) 90% of Southern America is farther east than NY
4) Greenland is farther North, East, South, and West than Iceland
5) Detroit is farther east than Atlanta
6) if you leave out of Los Algodones Mexico and travel any cardinal direction, you end up in USA

The answer to most of these questions is curvature of the earth and not flat land projections of a map. Won several bar trivia competitions with questions like those

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect. Some people live an entire lifetime & wonder if they ever made a difference in the world, a veteran doesn't have that problem. Reagan

It’s 100 miles closer from Atlanta to Toronto than it is from Atlanta to San Antonio
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

No. I’m a day shifter now. I think my night shifts are done for the rest of my career unless I decide to demote. I didn’t give them up by choice.

I stare at maps all the time. Some times on where I’ve been but mostly where I have not. Just returned from my first visit to Europe. Work trip to Denmark. Enjoyed looking at where I was headed so I had some bearings while there. Worked well until we hit the pubs.
Thanks for sharing.

Amarillo, TX is closer to five other State Capitals than it is to it's own.
If you drive from Dallas, Tx to LA, El Paso is about 90 miles short of the half way point.
