That's funny.  There's a Mt. Vernon 20 miles from where I live.

Yeah, its named after the real Mt. Vernon.

There isn’t even a mountain at Washington’s Mt Vernon. It’s next to the Potomac. Must be a Virginia thing.

Its more like a hill.

Please share.   Being from the upper mid-west, my perception of the east is that the country is non-existent west of the Mississippi River

That's essentially what the map shows!  I'll see if I can find it online.  It's pretty funny.

I found one but this is not the one I'm thinking of.  But funny nonetheless.  https://www.funnyordie.com/2011/7/12/17739382/the-map-of-america-as-seen-by-a-new-yorker

Totally inaccurate and unfair.

 

Nothing exists west of Pennsylvania.

I guess this means you wouldn't be amenable to relocating if we can't resolve which one is the real Washington.  I was going to propose we split the difference and place it somewhere around Oklahoma City.

Nooooooooo... not Oklahoma City.  I grew up in St. Louis and that was bad enough.

I was a little worried after posting it, seeing as where the Supersonics relocated and I didn't know if that was a bad memory for you.

It was a bad memory but at least now we have the Seattle Kraken.

I'm a transplant with no allegiance to the Washington Football Team.  I'm okay with shipping them off to Siberia, like you suggest.

Why do we need nicknames?

Sales promotions.  Way back in 1985 it wasn't Chicago Bears it was 'Da Bears.    Then again if it's Detroit, it's just lame whatever it's called!

The Pistons is a great nickname! Perfect for the Motor City.

No Scott. And don’t ever mention such a foul name on this clean board. Lambeer!? Thomas?! Ugh.😉

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
