With respect to your second comment, @hollydolly, my own, non-Internet opinion as an American, is that @StarSong was correct in that its has its origins in a boundary dispute, but the first thing that comes to mind when I hear that term is the Civil War, or at least the concept of North versus South. I think most people in the States do.

But I was curious and did end up Googling it. I found this site, which explains it more clearly than I could: Mason-Dixon Line | Definition, Significance, & Facts | Britannica

As you can see if you click on the link, on the East coast it runs along the southern border of Pennsylvania (and extends West from there).

Ksave..just quick word about your earlier link which I've had more time to read.. thank you again. I had absolutely no idea Mason & Dixon were British..none at all.. I did know about William Penn of course.. we have a Quaker hall here in my little market town with a plaque with his name on it etc... but essentially from reading that info..it seems it was us, the British who decided where the dividing line was in the USA...

I won't g on any more lest we get politcial comments but thanks again..something new I've learned today !(y)

Had a fun morning skiing w my daughter and her boyfriend. I saw 6 deer from the lift on my first ride up, then a hour or so later we were on the Hershey Highway which is right now a ribbon of snow across a bare sagebrush hillside when 2 deer bounded uphill across the cat track as we skied down!!! Missed them by about 10'. There was a 3rd one waiting till we passed by to take her turn crossing.

Oddly enough a couple years ago a local skier hit a small deer crossing the run just above Hershey Hiway. It died quickly and then the skier skied down w/it, taking roadkill is legal In Idaho. A couple days later there was a free deer stew dinner at a nearby restaurant.

I had to reorganize a small section of my storage closet to fit the bundle of toilet paper we got from Costco. I also saved an Amazon box that I knew I could fit a few small Space Bags with clothes in them. The box conveniently fit on top of the TP bundle.
My son and I had the first part of our business meeting this afternoon. Good thing, because he had forgotten where I keep important estate documents. I'm telling ya...these young people are more forgetful than we seniors!
