    Interesting that the heaviest flow seems to be from Chicago to Cleveland on I90.

            I think the 35/37 corridor in Texas is a little busier.

                        @Mik in the upper right hand corner is "And Gate."

                        Not sure if it's the same location, though.

                            The books are a ton of fun. Herron's style is a bit awkward until you get used to it. I've done 5 of them so far.

                                  Half of the silent generation accomplished all three by age 26 or so. Gen-x still hasn’t quite made half by 40. (I barely made it at 40, three months before turning 41).

                                  (Odd that the graph slopes go negative at points- are they subtracting people out for getting divorced?)

                                          Blaine County has actually voted for the winner in every election since 1916 - except 1988, when they voted Dukakis.

                                          True, but...

                                          Blaine County is the nation's most consistent long-term bellwether county, having voted for the winning presidential candidate in all but two elections held in its history. After backing Theodore Roosevelt against Woodrow Wilson in the county's inaugural 1912 election, Blaine County has been won by the winner of the presidential election in every election except that of 1988, held during the aftermath of a major drought and farm crisis; Michael Dukakis won the county by 58 votes.
