Walking a Fine Line.

Having written the last post (and having nothing better to do as usual) I decided to take a Wiki peek at the real Benson, Arizona, and in so doing I discovered an interesting fact.

Apparently, the USA is split almost exactly down the middle between those areas to the west of the line which have a high degree of diurnal temperature variation, and those to the east where it’s very low.

This is one of those facts to be kept in the mind’s filing system and brought out to make an impression when the moment is conducive. The problem with following this method of demonstrating one’s erudition, however, is that if you misjudge the moment you just sound stupid. That’s the bit I’m trying to learn.
