well....here in massachusetts we would never call worcester "western
massachusetts", although proportionately, it is similar to your numbers for san fran being north.... I didnt want to start a whole big thing, I was just curious if it was people who didnt know how far north cali actualy went after san fran.... it has always bugged me that people call it northern, thats all....

It bugs the hell out of me when people call California cali. Cali is a city in Columbia. it has always bugged me that people call it northern, thats all.... Like I said, read the Guadalupe Hildago treaty. Chuck |

its funny what bugs people....
i have a friend who moved out to san jose and says he only hears the word "cali" used to describe his new state....but he has also started speaking genericly about how he lives in northern cali..... just got a version of the treaty you mention but is almost unreadable as it is scans of the original document....looking for a text version now....

It is quite clearly central.....
wouldnt that be a little bit like referring to hampton VA as being in the northeastern US? It's hard for someone living in central Florida to call Maryland and Virginia "southern states." If a full winter coat has to be worn 15-30 times during the winter months during the warmest part of the day, that's a candidate for the north! |

I dont think anyone with a sense of geography refers to either maryland
or virginia as being southern states........they are clearly Mid-atlantic..... but then again, brains are not something floridians are known for.....a state that cant figure out how to use a punch ballot can hardly be counted on to provide geographical descriptors..... Chuck |

"Do you think it could be as simple as the fact that it is about 280
miles due north to Oregon and 480 miles due southeast to Mexico? That would...um.....yup, put in well into the top half of the state." or, and this comes only because I work for a bunch of statisticians, it puts san fran in the middle 3rd? |
