You betcha - I'll bring some hot dish and pop when we show up for the potluck dinner (at noon!)
I'm usually more entertained by misconceptions and differences than annoyed - I know I have enough of them about other parts of the country!
I disliked geography, history, and social studies when i was in school -
Now I realize that a lot of our history is/was determined by the geography of where people live(d).

I was asked how long it takes me to drive from the USA to Europe. Uhhhh well I can't hold my breath that long. How can you not know about the Atlantic Ocean? For the same token people asked about driving from California to Hawaii. Huh? That would be one long bridge over the Pacific Ocean.

I haven't seen anyone comment from Montana. When I was working in a restaurant, I had someone show me a road map and comment that it looked like the road went right through the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. They were afraid it might not be safe, but I assured them if they kept their windows up and didn't look them in the eye, they'd probably be okay.
They think we're all sheepherders, like, "Are you from Montaaaana?" Answer-- "Yup, and I wanna go baaaaack." Gotta love em! I guess were all a little niave until we travel enough to experience other cultures.
