Day 13, Lazy

[fabrisse]

I have spent most of the day in bed reading two mysteries and a book about the production of The Wicker Man.

From this, I have come up with the following poll. More will be explained later.

[Poll #1934440]

In the West they shoot people.

In the East that's considered rude; they just cut them dead in the street.

In the Midwest they don't shoot people they've been introduced to.

(In the South they don't shoot people unless they've been introduced. Why do you think it's called the "Civil" War?)

I tend to think of the Midwest as any State that has a piece between the Mississippi River and the Ohio River. So far it's never been a critical issue, but if it ever is I'll make my case.

So in your view Nebraska wouldn't be Midwest? I'm pretty sure neither river touches it.

Nope. Anything west of the Mississippi is geographically West.

Though the coastal States are, politically, Mars.

Sam Clemens was born in the West. Minnesota is a little bit Midwest.
