Somehow, my subscription notifications got turned off.....

My next quartet has been burnt a hole completely through my pocket, and I thought, "What the heck? Has everyone given up on quartets?"

Any-who-I've got the RIGHT answer (Thanks google!) and the next quartet - HARD and HOT,..... er..... you know what I mean.... ready to go.

Status: offline 		Sorry, dc. But I need to get outta here, and fluff needs something to "suck on."  Jeeze, I thought she was more of a lady. LOL!

I know I'm right, so here's my next one:

Alaska
California
Illinois
Louisiana

On, stop with the groaning.  We haven't had any geography ones for a while.  Oh, first clue:  NOT about borders or measures of  land or maps or "actual" geography. (Which, if you remember, is Greek for "earth-drawing.")  More about the kinda thing we get from dcnovice, what with him living in the US capital and all.

Plenty more states could be on this list....

Status: offline 		Who knew?  Nice research, but not what I have in mind.  Sorry, but my clue wasn't that "direct."  I meant to direct y'all to the state capitals (as opposed to the US capital.)  And maybe when I said, "not about maps" that might have dis-allowed street names which are on maps......  Now I've got you thinking.... well, at least fluff.  Anyone else out there?

ETA:  Not sure how many diagonals are in Washington, DC.  But I'll tell you this - I was totally amazed at how many states share this factoid about their respective capital cities.   I would've thought it was a minority, maybe oh, about ..... FOUR!  Nope, it's the vast majority.

BIG hint for the day..... look a list of state capitals.  Get it?  "BIG hint"
 
:: SIGH :::  Really, Lance..... sometimes you have trouble striking the balance between unique, obscure, and just plain impossible. LOL!

Take it away, m'dear.

All 4 states have something that uses the common thing.  3 states "somethings" connect, the 4th state does not connect but still uses the common thing.
