babs (my sister, and yes, she only lets you photograph her from one side), mr kk and i were complaining about which state had which capitol (and indianapolis is the capitol of indiana, thank you) so we foudn a quiz online. we were surprised at how many we knew (and the number we kept missing over and over again.)
i still don't know the capitol of missouri. i think it's kansas city though. but, i couldn't tell you where the state is.
i didn't realize delaware was a state until maybe 6 years ago. it could have been later than that. and i have some strange fascination with montana (is it really a state? i highly doubt it and have heard some very convincing arguments to which i may well believe it is not!). i do believe there is a town called bute (pronounced butt) montana, and always make jokes when parking way out in nowhere saying we are parked in 'bute, montana' or 'bfe' (that has to do with egypt though and i'll explain no more)
that's about all the geography i know.
oh, and i couldn't name all of my state's neighbors if i tried. how sad is that? and other countries baffle me. district of columbia? where's that? i'm beign serious and i wouldn't have had a clue before my mind became a black hole. blame the public school system, i was an a b student in college level courses!
