I like thinking about things a little longer. So... the Delta exists in ones mind and if a New Orleanian tells me that it is only New Orleans and downstream it merely tells me what the limits of his/her particular field of vision are? So, if I were so bold as to suggest that the river has somehow, in a way I cannot yet describe in words, created similarities between the cities at its downstream end and its upstream end, this may be attributed to a field of vision that may be so expansive as to be non-sensical?
This is helpful.
So, is it worth 10 hours in a cart to go to Clarksville?
