KC has a lot of migrants from the south and is, as you said, a hybrid Midwest/South city. KC has more of a southern twang than StL people. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-34924431377689449062016-12-25T11:42:51.135-05:002016-12-25T11:42:51.135-05:00Arizona is at elevation.

Bob Edwards of NPR (who is from Louisville) once said of his home town" Louisville is neither especially Southern, but neither is it especially Midwestern--but especially neither. " The same can be said for the entire State of Missouri (Midwestern or Southern? Or both?)

Same w/ New Mexico. But, you could make that statement about many states, and not just in relation to climate, topography, etc. Northern Illinois and Indiana are almost entirely different states politically and culturally. Folks in the southern ends of those 2 states speak w/ a southern accent. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-28911420432580989962016-12-25T00:08:27.447-05:002016-12-25T00:08:27.447-05:00Thanks chick 🐥 and everybody here Feliz Navidad Thanks chick 🐥 and everybody here Feliz Navidad Lem the artificially intelligent https://www.blogger.com/profile/03569712564034666751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-90635018802996218202016-12-24T20:39:15.109-05:002016-12-24T20:39:15.109-05:00Last time I was at the North Rim of the canyon it ...Last time I was at the North Rim of the canyon it was July and the snow, even then, was 4' deep. I don't recall the altitude precisely, but the number 8,800 feet sticks with me for some reason. Not a place to mess around in in December. <br /><br />The mountains out west are unrelenting - you really need to have your stuff together to survive getting lost there. I followed a lot of cases in the Cascades where people wandered off the road and died - there is a mindset involved called the ratchet effect - people keep going one direction, refusing to go back to the last place where they weren't lost. <br /><br />Glad those folks made it.The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354536924604187137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-87633673529660855052016-12-24T20:20:52.224-05:002016-12-24T20:20:52.224-05:00Good point about Google Maps (also MapQuest, GPS) ...Good point about Google Maps (also MapQuest, GPS) and, yes, it can get extremely cold up in that country.<br /><br />People think Arizona means desert and it doesn't, ay least not the northern half.
