state your case

I have no recollection of how this little debate got started last night. Really. I know that X didn’t have a book to read before bed – as if we don’t have books all over the house – and somehow we ended up determining which states had “distinctive shapes”. I, of course, ended up defending my home state as a distinctive shape. She, of course, declared everything west of Massachusetts as square. Here’s a collection of states. I’m not claiming “most distinct”, I’m merely claiming distinct and not square-ish. Damn east coast liberals.
