Help keep me alive and working! My only income comes from my writing and having adventures; so help keep me going even at 74 and with Parkinson’s.
“Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?”

I love this kind of thing!
A Good map but the west coast choices seem off.

Ask Patrick?
I can't imagine how it could be anything other than climate. But I've been wrong about many things.
I remember checking once to see that Volgagrad (Stalingrad) and Cheyenne, Wyo., were at about the same latitude, which I always think of when seeing references to the Battle of . . .
Also, the clothes that worked well in Portland, Oregon, worked well in Ireland too. "Ah, you're blessed with the wayther."
No offense to Syria, but I think the Great Basin deserves an upgrade to Turkey. We're on about the same parallel as Cappadocia, and I'd say the climate and terrain maps pretty well to east-central Anatolia, though their high mountains run a little wetter.
I'm with you on that.
These things don't exactly have a fine – grained resolution 🙂
I'm sorry, but East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet(ahem!) besides, where the heck is AFRICA in all this????….L.B.
