Thanks to Jean and Kathy and Sandra, my curiosity has been satisfied. Now I can give my son-in-law an answer. When he looked at the map to find out where Preston County was he said, "Whoa, look at all those counties!" Why are there so many? Well, no mother-in-law wants to admit she doesn't know everything, does she? <grin> So now I can give him an answer. Actually, Michael is a charmer, and he is at least as brighter as I. Una. PS Jean, did you figure that out about the counties? It makes so much sense now that you explained it. I've been on a lot of those "little red lines" on the map, and you are right. The traveling is slooooow. Yes, I've always been a flatlander, by golly.
