My wife's computer just reached CA. It's passing through Avenal which I had to look up. That's near Fresno. Next stop: the local distribution site, Fairfield.

mainly around the St. Louis, Mo, area, carbonated beverages were and maybe still are called Sodee or Sodee Pop

"Soda" seems to the more commonly used term here, although some people use "coke" for any carbonated beverage. Once I was at work and someone pointed to a can of Diet 7-Up and said "there's a coke if you want one." It wasn't a Coke. It wasn't The Real Thing. Even New Coke wasn't Coke, although I did give it a fair chance.

Talk about a scenic tour. My wife's computer stopped in Tracy, had a look around, and left again. Now it says it's coming to the destination "on time" when the original "on time" was yesterday. I should ask ChatGPT to tell me why on time is not really on time.

The new computer does NOT like Fairfield. It arrived there and left 4 minutes later. I've always thought more kindly of Fairfield.

That's probably some Southerners who have wondered out of their native jurisdiction.

If you think MidWesterners are wierd, Juggalos got an entire song about Faygo, which is called Juggalo Juice (it's ICP so it's got strong language).

I am indeed from the midwest in the 1950s.
We don't call pop "soda" or "coke" here.
That applies to my mom. You two would probably get along as two people in public, but not as two individuals in public, for she does not like atheistkind.
My dad is from same impoverished community but a decade later. I don't know when his parents were born, be he acts like he was born around the time my mom's parents were (1904 and 1911). My best friend's dad has one of his highschool text books, and it has where he drew KISS on the side of it decades ago. Which is not anything unusual for someone around his age to have put that on things. What's unexpected is my dad not liking Kiss because, according to him, it's too heavy and nothing but a bunch of screaming.
