> Sandra, contingency-plan woman, in exotic, invisible New Mexico

My French teacher in college, who was a native-speaker, so had an accent in
English, told a great story about when she'd first accepted the job at the
college in Iowa. At a dinner party, she was telling people that she'd be
moving soon, and someone asked to where. When she said, "Iowa" the person
said, "Oh you mean Ohio?". It went back and forth until the Easterner
finally told her, rather snottily, "Out HERE, we say OHIO."

brenda,

p.s. Sandra! Can you make New Mexico visible when I fly out that way this
summer? It's probably easier for the pilot!
