Another map of the US for all you map lovers

And of course there’s Tennessee Williams. Surely there are others?

Not really in the last 100 years. Popularity of baby names by national rank:

Georgia #110

Dakota #272

Carolina #428

Virginia #510

Montana #1050

Jersey #1620

Indiana #2154

Alaska #2274

Tennessee #6116

Washington #9789

Color me not surprised it’s mostly in the South.

Too many similar colours, but dark blue is wrong. Dark blue is freshly spread cow manure on a 95F day.

Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve never smelled a corn processing plant

Another example of why South Jersey should be its own state.

Close, but it’s actually freshly spread pig manure on a 95 degree day. Cow manure smells like Chanel No. 5 compared to pig shit.

The closest I ever came to giving up IM training was when I was at mile 60-something on a training ride on a hot July day in southern WI, stuck behind a manure spreading truck that was dripping out the back.

I learned from the Ten Junk Miles Podcast, that there is a difference between Wet Corn and Dry Corn

D’Wife had to do training in Cedar Rapids once, and she said the whole town smelled like Kellogg’s Corn Flakes

What godless heathens would dislike that smell?

She didn’t say she didn’t like it - it was just “overwhelming”

I was referring to the map makers

I kinda disagree with the teal portion entirely

I’m pretty sure you’re not getting “subway/hot garbage/sidewalk cart” in State College, PA, or Binghamton, NY

Sigh … time for another Alaska factcheck.

First, elk are found on only a few islands in Alaska. They are not a native species.

Second, there are very few pine trees in Alaska, and they’re only found in Southeast Alaska.

Third, don’t most people like the smell of pine sap?

I’m not sure what the worst smell in Alaska is, but based on my limited experience it’s a rotting whale on a beach.

As a person who lives at the edge of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens, I really LOVE the fragrance of pine needles warming in the sun by the side of the road. It’s very different from the “pine” fragrance you get with “cleaning products”
