I was just trying to poke some fun and make a valid point to Evan and the left coast, exclusive of Oregon and Washington. I thought it was a great point, and one I have thought about. You can drive for 12 hours and still be in California. Or be going to the office at rush hour, and cover 12 miles. California is a big state with a lot of breeders in it. To give you a comparison, or another way to look at size, if Lake Superior was spread over the United States, it would cover it five feet deep. Now, that is a big lake. Of course if it did happen, our breed would be able to swim. I can't believe anyone was upset over Tony's post. I find those things interesting. I was told if Texas was turned in any direction it would cover the United states from edge to edge. Why would anyone do that?
