    Huh? How did they do that?

    I woke up to find out the whole state had been moved over night! Quite an engineering feat!

    Yeah? Well being all the way off in Maryland you probably didn't hear the big equipment going by. Here in Washington Idaho was right next door and at 3:00am when that big diesel fired up, we heard it.

    I live in Lewiston, ID. Our oldest son lives in Clarkston, WA. I used drive across one of 2 bridges across Snake River to visit him.......Now.... it's going to be a longer drive to help finish that bathroom remodel we've been working on!

    If you take Oklahoma, flip it upward and turn it 90 degrees clockwise you practically have Idaho.

    What a pedestrian thread. Look, there's New York City, Yonkers, White Plains, Upstate, Florida, Canada and Out West. Stop bothering me with all these details.
