My problem isn't the eastern seaboard. It's getting a state like Kentucky or Colorado or one of the interior states to start off... I'm usually 50 to 100 miles off when that happens.

8. 56 Seconds? That's a second per state? Hard to believe. |

21. perhaps , It's just that ... |

I just figured I didn't do too badly since I was relatively new to the USA. As a Canadian, I think I know more about Geography and Politics in the USA than a lot of Americans do about Canadian Geography and politics. It seems that 'Canada' isn't taught in American schools, USA is taught in Canadian schools. A lot of American people can't even name past Prime Ministers (or current) of Canada.
yikes.. I didn't mean to rant :)
