[NR] Regional practices

Actually, by keeping the practice in the central areas it helps no one but those in the central areas. I've included a simple graph below. If you assume the distance from the SW portion of the state to the central area to be the same as the distance from the NE part of the state to the center, and label that distance "1". Then a trip from Lawton to Tulsa would be twice that distance, or "2". 
 
              central ne sw
month 1      0       1  1
month 2      1       0  2
month 3      0       1  1
month 4      1       2  0
month 5      0       1  1
month 6      1       0  2
month 7      0       1  1
month 8      1       2  0
total            4       8  8

month 1      0       1  1
month 2      0       1  1
month 3      0       1  1
month 4      1       2  0
month 5      0       1  1
month 6      0       1  1
month 7      0       1  1
month 8      1       0  2
total           2       8  8

 
You can see that the "every fourth month" plan, allows those in the central area to only travel half as far in the eight month period, but everyone else has to travel the same amount.
