    OK last one What region are you from.

    I believe I have this down pat. Please refer to post : http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=16688 for regional breakdown of the US.

    I'm sorry for the other two polls and I appreciate your voting here yet a 3rd time ! and to any austrailians or New Zelanders I had no choice, I had to include you somewhere.

    OK, Canada is finally present, so I can vote. But, if I lived in places such as Greenland, Cuba, or Costa Rica, I would still have a problem with your list.

    And I think to make it more informative you should have had a second line to vote what kind of wood you use most often. That way, we could cross reference the location to type of wood used and determine how regional availability effects wood selection. And maybe from there detemine styles of furniture and determine how regionality and wood selection effects design criteria.........................

    Didn't Aaron put a map together a year or so ago? Is that still around? Been updated?

    I thought he was doing a zip code map of some sort, I think there was a push to get everyone to update zips and then I never seemed to here what happened.

    I always find it funny how the eastern mid section is called the midwest versus mideast. One would think that the states in the direct center would be called center.

    Anyways...... The State with the stupidest new slogan in the country "Kansas As Big As You Think!" Totally stupid.

    We're right next to the Show Me state, which I am not really sure I want some of them to show me anything. Of course Kansas is in the middle of Oklahoma which sucks and Nebraska which blows.... Tee Hee!

    Well our new slogan is "Life's So good", they paid $22000 for some artist to come up with a song for the new slogan. Only problem is that it sounds very similar to a British song! So now the state tourism board has to decide whether to change the slogan again or what! Gotta love it!

    Yeah, What's with that? I mean we're the only state whose flag can fly at even height with the US flag, instead of one step below, so we should count as our own region ;=))) Jim.

    I've heard the term "filler" for the states between CA and NY. Does that sound better?

    What Region?

    After the last election, I'm in a bluish-green section of the country. I'm also in the only state where you don't need a map to show people where you live...you just hold up your left hand and point to the appropriate knuckle. I live at the base knuckle of the middle finger.
