If not, good on you! You are a geography buff!

Sure, here's one. I mix up Sioux Falls and Sioux City a lot. I have a hard time remembering which is in SD and which is in IA.

LOL! That's hysterical! I don't know if anybody has noticed, but New Mexico license plates say, "New Mexico, USA". It's amazing how many people don't think New Mexico is a part of America.

It can get even more confusing with Sioux City:

North Sioux City, SD
Sioux City, IA
South Sioux City, NE

I never confuse Sioux Falls and Sioux City. Sioux Falls is the good one.

Yes. Only after they say DC in response to Seattle. But should it really be necessary? ha ha

I'm a big US geography buff, too, but I don't mix up states, anyway. I might OVERLOOK some states every now and then, such as Delaware...

I HATE it when people tell me that they are going to Washington. My reply, "You're going out west, eh?" Their reply, "D.C. is out East!"
