I don't think so-I will have to go check it out. I was thinking about all of this "geographical (sense of place) posting" that has been going on and popped in a tape of "Vernon, Florida" which I found very entertaining. The grandpa with the pet turtle and possum reminded me of my great Uncle (he had to catch the possum because it was eating his chickens).
Oh, I opened up my map software and started checking out Texas and I noticed something rather odd. All of the counties south of Dallas and East of San Antonio are all "twisted" counterclockwise allmost 45 degrees. It seems that everything got settled from the Gulf Coast inward and all of the highways run parallel and perpendicular to the Coast instead of East/West and North/South. When you get up to Dallas everything turns into the usual checkerboard pattern that you see all the way up through the plains. I wonder why that is?Mitch
