Jim Dandy: This sounds like the way they talk in Alberta. I never once heard anyone say something about heading east from Alberta to go to Central Canada. The United States is divided funny to someone that just looks at a map and does not know its history. Just why is the Mid West east of the Mississippi?

Both the NFL and MLB used to have some strange names for their divisions. Atlanta, Georgia was in the Western Division of the National League and the National Football Conference at one time.
