I would like to know what the other 2 states are, did you go to school in the US? I saw a survey not too long ago that said that only 28% of US high school seniors could name all 50 states. So how can I expect someone from New Zealand to get it right

Shoot, we have national parks bigger than Texas.

We feel so bad about relegating Texas to the second-largest state that we are considering splitting in half, which of course would make Texas the third-largest state.

Well thats not fair... in Alaska, national parks = "We have all this worthless ice covered land that no one wants to buy at any price, has no value, no one even wants to visit it.. so what should we do with it? National park!"

Hi Steve,

I don't know yet. A group dutch umpire's (incl me) is asked IF they are available to work there. It's off season now for us, most off us spare their free days for the summer to umpire in the winter. I've mailed the UIC that he can put me on the roster. Saturday we, the dutch TOP-umpire crew, will meet te close this year/season as allways in nov. Maybe then we will hear who's going to Schiedam...
If I'm not chosen to umpire, I know I will go watching!
So see you at the Cup!
