I'm prone to thinking of everywhere outside New Mexico as pretty much the same place. I'm particularly gratified to see that evidently, the numbers feel the same way. This chart demonstrates conclusively that the numbers figure Houston, Washington DC, NYC, Boston, Savannah, Miami and Sacramento, CA and someplace in West Virginia are generally equal in terms of a numerical place to grab a chair, pull back your hat to wipe the sweat off your brow and give the waitress a sly wink when you order a cup of coffee.
Just about the same things appear to be happening everywhere, numerically, when you have a lot of anonymous humans wadded up into a pile waving their fists and shouting while they bump into one another in automobiles of various kinds and colors.
On the other hand, those numbers appear to just drop in on vacation, or passing through on I40 and I25 driving moving vans, stopping for a meal or a cup of java to break the pavement mesmerism when they come to New Mexico or Colorado. Numerical cultural diversity is simply not to be found where life moves too quickly to be really sorted out.
In fact, unless I've made a mistake in my cutting and pasting, things were so squinched together over on the east coast on the 20th that the numbers got completely bamboozled and tried to be two places at one time:

I'll leave it to someone else to backtrack me and find my error, if there is one. I like it too well just as it is, whether it actually happened in real life, or only inside the computer.
