One more thing about the city and state question. Some cities have one word names, like Dallas. Some have two or three word names, like Fort Worth or Salt Lake City. When you say the name of the city, give the whole name. Every now and then someone will call in and just say Rancho, California. There is no such place as Rancho, California. I know, I searched for Rancho, California until my fingers were just bloody stumps. There are 9 cities that start with Rancho, like Rancho Cucamonga and Rancho Bernardo. Just saying Rancho is as much help as telling me it's in Saint. On the flip side, some people like to give their cities extra names. Like Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There is no Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Sure, the local yocals might call some place around there Jackson Hole, but it's official name is simply Jackson.
Then there are the cities that sound like their name should be broken up into two words, but for some reason aren't. Like Westlake, California. Oh, wait, can't find any city named Westlake, California. Maybe it is broken up into two words. Search for West Lake, California. No, can't find West Lake, California. Maybe the people who named it were the same retards who named a city in Texas Weslaco, instead of West Laco. Look for Weslake, California. No, can't find Weslake either. Finally, the brain surgeon on the other end mentions the name of the city is Westlake Village, California, not just Westlake, California. Bingo, bongo, there it is.
