well idmtwy is legend
& it may even have been i who first farted over it
idaho montana wyoming

njnypa is more subtle
new jersey new york pennsylvania
but they have it wet while it is dry
close but dry

ksmone
kansas missouri nebraska
they show this in 2 different positions
depending on which quad margin you look at
& the point here is back in legal transition again
so they were wrong but are now right to be confused
& an unsuspecting user of either quad gets less than half the story

more uncertain are mnndsd
minnesota north dakota south dakota
for which they have tried but never satisfied me

almstn
alabama mississippi tennessee
they dont even acknowledge my question

ilinmi
illinois indiana michigan

one of the last 2 such i believe

your input is always just what i need
& i rejoice in our harmonies

back again soon on the 18 new marines
