"Nebraska has a large agriculture sector, and is a national leader in the production of beef, pork, corn (maize), and soybeans."

Wikipedia.


And I was just kind of being an asshole because you seemed to be making fun of Nebraska but didn't know where it was.  Also, corn grown in Nebraska that feeds Texas cattle still feeds you. (well, theoretically)

Texas cattle ... feeds you.

In Soviet Russia?

Indeed it does, but the corn grown in Nebraska goes to pigs and cattle, not people.  I'll definitely eat a pig or cow, but I'm pretty sure they come from Oklahoma, Texas,Tennessee, Arkansas or Alabama (though most likely California, in my case).

My cows come from McDonald's, and my pigs from Denny's.

Oh hell yes maps. I could look at maps all day long. My mom tells people I have an incredible sense of direction (and indeed, I'm very rarely lost when I'm driving), but I think a lot of that just comes from staring at maps as much as I enjoy doing.

I like makin' em as much as I like readin' em. There's something satisfying about distilling information and presenting it in a readable form. I'm hoping that I can get a job doing GIS since I already have a degree in architecture/planning and that's a related field...or maybe I'll go back to school for it. GIS is like taking a map and increasing its information capacity by a million. They're awesome. Central repository of land information, and the interface is only going to become more and more intuitive as time passes.

First: Tennessee = Saudi Arabia?  Holy hell, there must be a lot of corporate headquarters there.

Second: GIS is a lot more about statistics and data manipulation than most people realize.  The mapping is pretty much automatic now, as long as you can get the data in the units you want it.  At least, that's how it was when I was considering the field.  I kind of fell out of love with it when I realized that the maps were almost an afterthought.

Hell, I have a degree in Geography because I think maps are frikkin' awesome.  They basically rule.

Yeah, we're Mexico.
