Cool! But Arizona voted for the current president, not the one who lost by close to 8 million votes. But TG is not political so we will leave it there.
And if you want to talk about flyover. Nobody knows about New Mexico because the weatherman/woman always stands in front of New Mexico on the weather map while she/he/they points to the left and speaks of the weather in Arizona and California and then points to the right and talks about the weather in Texas and the south.

they say, if you count in the severn estuary, that nowhere in england is more than 75 miles from the sea as the crow flies.. the whole place is flyover in a sense
[do crows fly in straight lines ? When I see them they are usually circling :D]
I do know of some secluded rarely visited spots, but as i would rather they stayed that way, I'll say no more

Wow. I might not be so nice if foreigners turned up to steal my country!
I hope there's some reference to the indigenous people that's better than "not the nicest of people".

yes but [devil's advocate hat on] - that is exactly what some of the settlers were, so you could argue it's six of one and.... of course that may not be the way tombstone wants you to see it....

Tombstone. My favourite western, but I really need to revisit "Dances with Wolves".
I heartily recommend watching "News of the World", a western with a message for today and I learned something I didn't know about the old West.
On this theme, I have a book called "Badmen of the West" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Badmen-West.../dp/0890096309) packed with pictures of famous lawmen and bad guys from those days. The bad guys pictures usually feature them side-by-side with the local Sheriff but laying upright against a board, often with one or more black circles across their chest..

News of the World is a refreshingly different sort of Cowboy Movie, Paul. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Tom Hanks, of course continues to do no wrong in his career.
