US geography (OT -- but then this whole thread already was)

I didn't rigorously fact check. Looks very clean. Until 1 minute ago I really had no idea where in Tennessee Memphis is and was picturing it east of Chicago and Milwaukee.

And here is thought you were using the Mississippi River as a dividing line. (Reminds me why I shouldn't assume I know the reasoning behind peoples' statements.) In fact Minneapolis, Memphis, and New Orleans are all on the Mississippi so it's not ridiculous to use that (as has been an historic case) as the dividing line between East and West in regards to NBA teams.

On a distant geography trivia question, I recall (twice) Bob asking me to name the four states that lay on the shortest line segment (geodesic segment?) that crosses four states. (And I still don't know the answer!)
