The latest normblog poll has got off to a pretty good start, but as I posted it going into last weekend I fear there may be some of you who missed the call and then didn't conscientiously go back into the normblog archive to see what you might have missed.
So check it out, my friends. It's ideal material for pondering over the coming weekend and whatever festivals you celebrate. I'm asking for your five favourite names of the US states (and, optionally, a song lyric containing one of them).
Mick, who has dutifully submitted his entry, and Ophelia, who has dutifully submitted hers, have a word or two to say about my comparative comments regarding Colorado, Tennessee and Texas, on the one hand, and Surrey, Essex and Northamptonshire, on the other. See what - and send in your entry.
