a meme comes around on the guitar

[totient]

The list of states and provinces I've visited has not changed since the last time I did this meme. But my coloring scheme has.

Green is still states I've lived in, and as before every state that's colored in here is also one I've slept in (though in a couple of cases, I think only while passing through on a train).

But I've expanded the set of blue states to ones I've really explored even if that was over several trips, and not just ones I've spent an extended time in all at once. And there's a new distinction between orange and red: this time, I'm coloring a state red if it has been at least 30 years since I spent the night.

I've thought about doing something like that to differentiate where I've been by surface travel from air travel.

Oops. That was me, a few moments ago.

That's a fun differentiator. I've been to all of these by surface travel except Minnesota. Oregon and Washington are a cheat on this one: I walked from one to the other, and back, but I've otherwise only ever arrived in either of them by air. It might be amusing to figure out which ones I'd been to *only* by surface travel and *not* by air. But I'm not sure I could actually put it together. Have I flown into T.F. Green airport in Providence, or only out of it? I honestly don't remember.
