Some old relative of mine had an ashtray that was similar to that. The western part where California should be was labeled "Uninhabitable." I must have only been about 8 years old when I saw that and it always stuck with me.
Hope you weren't offended by my armpit comment. Being from the panhandle, all the trees are making us a little claustrophobic and this is a totally different culture than the one my husband and I grew up in. :) Thanks for the comment.
Cimarron, it's cool, like I said on your place, I've called it that a few times too. I had the opposite problem when I visited the Panhandle, the completely wide open spaces almost gave me agoraphobia! No trees, only things dotting the landscape are the snow fences along the highway (at least that's my memory of it, over 20 yrs ago).

But looking at the map... does that mean you finally claim the Okies? :)
