Wide Open Spaces

Two years ago I wrote a short story, "Intersections," the primary setting of which was Dalhart, Texas.  Doing some research for another project, I came across this tidbit,

Dalhart, Texas is a small town of about 7500 population on the High Plains.  It is closer to six other state capitals than it is to its own capital,  Austin.

An interesting tidbit. Maybe we'll see it on Jeopardy.

On second thought, maybe you will. I never watch that show.

Chuck, I could see it on Jeopardy if they use it.

I wonder if they feel like a forgotten step-child

Sharkey, they might. I once lived in a town that was closer to three county seats than it was to its own. Not always convenient.
