0. Roll call of the states

Do you realize, if you alphabetize the state abbreviations and the state names, they don't come out in exactly the same order! Who knew (and maybe who cares)?

Eventually, each state will have its own blog entry. Instead of making 50 entries right now, I'll make each state page as I come to a bit of information from that state. Right now, the abbreviations are linked to the state government website, and the name of the state is linked to its tourism website.
