This is not amazingly pretty, but it is where I live, so yay! (No, I am not worried about being stalked by INTERNET MENTALISTS, for one thing there are too many bits, for another nobody knows what I look like, and for another I will bite their legs off if they come after me.)

(Drawn in 1918! Yeah!)

And yes, the Trip To Jerusalem is ACE, and in CAVES, but it is the other side of town, so not pertinent to my Sneintonian hijacking.

Very nice - I want to tell you that it's maps, charts etc. not landscapes and things, but you seem to be having fun. I meat abstract representations of data, places etc. So that picture from Apollo is out too. But, whatever, I hate rule-y people, and that's what I'm being.

Don't worry, I deserved that. I was being a dick about the criteria, so my spelling mistakes deserve to be mocked.

Yeah, Sneinton! We are RUFF FuX0rs yay! Although I have to say I've never experienced anything as mental as bombs nearby, but I am staying in as much as possible to avoid scary firework-throwing children. AAAAH!

(Sorry about overloading on superlativeness and exclamations but I am still wacked by election distress and the only way I seem to be combating it is by turning into MJ Hibbett)

xpost I wasn't mocking, really, I just found it amusing at the time

So.. Los Angeles County is the most populous, followed by the county that Chicago is in?

Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 02:15 (nineteen years ago) link

I think that's right, Chris. Check out
http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2003/cb03-65.html
which also ranks the "fastest growing" counties.

Factor in that you can't even make out the mostly blue, tiny little urban districts, and the United States seem to be much more blue than what many think.

warm areas = shorter travel times, cool areas = longer

but from where? to where? i think maybe it's all based around that dot in the middle.

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link

but from where?
"that dot in the middle."
to where?
The colored pixels. The color represents the total travel time to get to that location.

seems to be a couple of series of things on:
