No problem...I could even list all the state capitals as well, if you wanted me to...

Knowing ResQgeek, he's probably got a song about state capitals he sings in the shower.

Me, I find it all terribly confusing. Did you know that the capital of California is NOT Los Angeles?

It's Albany.

It's sacramento. I know because at one time my cousin lived there. Similarly, the capital of Nevada is *not* Las Vegas but Carson CIty. Or that of Oregon isn't Seattle but Salem. North Dakota named their capital after A German Chancellor, (Otto von) Bismarck, and South Dakota's is another men's name, Pierre (also means "stone" btw.) And Montana decided on Helena as a name for teir capital. To name but a few I remember. ;-)

You know, I'd never thought of Seattle as being Oregon's capital.

Gah! I meant Portland, not Seattle. Grr. Seattle, is, of course, in Washington.

*bangs head*

Hey, try me on German states and capitals and you'll see ignorance on a grand scale!

Pete, who knows that Lisbon is the capital of Portland

No. Los Angeles is the center of the universe, just ask any of the self-absorbed celebs that live there! :o)

It's true. To them, there is LA and then there is LA and then there is LA and maybe at the end of the line, there is LA.
;-)

(another of my cousins lives there and cannot understand why not everyone knows everything about LA, let alone wantto live there, because, well, it's the center of the world.)

Maybe there are nice parts of LA, and maybe I could leave the terminal to see them, but to me, it's just a place to catch a plane to where you really want to go.
