Okay I've now checked a map and I realise I missed two major states and one state that tends to stick out because of the cowboy legend.

Massachusetts, Ohio and Wyoming are the ones I forgot.

Here are my excuses for missing three states and I'm sticking to them.

Massachusetts, probably because it's difficult to spell and I always think of it as Boston.

Ohio, because I wanted to forget Jo the plumber, sorry, i meant Joe, then again he could be a secret TG and reading these pages.

Wyoming, "I'm sorry boy but there's only room enough in this country for EITHER Montana OR WYOMING" (I often get these two states mixed up)
I wanna be both, why can't I be both!

Don't feel bad, Chaunte.  I hear that Iowa is like Nirvana.....the state of perfect nothingness.

So ... what's the capital of Baltimore? :P ;)
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Hey, still pretty darn good for an Aussie!

I tried to do the same for Australia, but forgot the name of the capital territory, the specific names for the big ones in the West (I called it "Western Terr." instead of "Western Aus." for instance), and totally forgot about Victoria!

So you did better for America than I did for Australia!
