[Sca-cooks] lands

[Dana Huffman]

When I was in Spain, the main problem was explaining to
people that not only was Washington State different from
Washington, D.C. (and that no, it isn't the state
Washington D.C. is in), but that it's clear on the other
coast.  It was best if I could draw a map.  We never got
much into Indians (which was a shame, in a way; I had
expected that and went primed with mentions of the
sophisticated political trouble we were having with some of
the tribes over casinos and fishing rights and such).

And I still can't figure out why they tended to think I was
French.  I can't even pronounce a French "r", so it
couldn't have been my accent...
