10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I’ve driven to all but 4 states so
it was fairly easy for me. If only I hadn’t let my attention lapse on
the very last one. It probably would have been harder to identify the square
states if one had to do it by shape rather than position on the map (other than
the non-contiguous ones). I take annual road trips to different destinations
and am running out of states. Interestingly last November I set my car’s
fancy in-dash GPS to “<st1:City w:st="on">San Diego</st1:City>” and
it took me to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Diego</st1:place></st1:City>
… County! It was interesting to be up in the mountains in the middle of
nowhere and have my car tell me: “You have reached your destination.”
I begged to differ. Turns out it had an entry for <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">San
Diego</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType> and one
for the city and I hadn’t realized it gave me two options when I told it <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">San Diego</st1:City></st1:place>. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Hmm. Botched up <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Utah</st1:place></st1:State>,
which I should basically know. Scored 148.<br>
<br>
I'll whine and moan that that really isn't much of a challenge. Can you<br>
remember the capital cities? (Plus DC of course). Can you remember any<br>
of the Canadian provinces/teritories and their capitals? How about<br>
Mexican states & cities? (I fail miserably at that point).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
