I think it was during the Los Angeles Olympics that I read a story about a guy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who had called the toll-free number to purchase tickets to some Olympic events. The seats were available and everything went fine, through the giving of the credit card number — until the woman asked him for his mailing address. [I’ll keep searching for that story . . .]
When he gave his mailing address in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the woman said, “I’m sorry, we can’t sell tickets outside the United States,” or words to that effect.
Despite the man’s pleas that New Mexico is part of the U.S., the woman refused to complete the sale.
Now, Google has lost North Dakota.

So why do we need a South Dakota and a North Dakota, anyway??? These are tough times. Having two Dakotas is a luxury we can’t afford anymore.
And now it’s time to rethink South Carolina…

GPS here (Houston) seems to miss by a few feet. Not a big problem.Unless we’re in the right lane, and it thinks we are on the service road instead.
“Take the ramp” can mean the on-ramp, when we are already “on.” Trouble is, we’re approaching an off-ramp…

Heard a story told by a DE radio personality some years ago. She was in LA covering some news event and she got carded at a bar. She shows her DE drivers license and gets the response “I’m sorry. I’ll have to see some kind of *official* document.”

Well actually Minnesota and Montana decided to play a prank on the Dakota’s and we hid North Dakota in Quebec.

Are you using a GPS on your Texas touring? Does it work well?

Boy. How clumsy of Google to lose North Dakota. That’s what happens when you don’t put things in their proper place.
