Geographic Euthanasia: The End of Platial As We Know It
This is one of my favorite Platial maps. I come from a family of truck drivers on the East Coast and this reminds me of playing with CB radios-- my first experience with a community based on geography and experience. It was a virtual community. At the age of 6 when my favorite toy was the Sit 'n Spin, my handle was of course Sit 'n Spin. Now that sounds entirely innapropriate.
