Subject: RE: Which Country /County do you come from?
I'm living in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai County, Idaho, USA.

I grew up in Bonners Ferry, Boundary County, Idaho. It's on the Kootenai River, which is 50 miles or so from Kootenai County,

but I was born in Shelbina, Shelby County, Missouri, USA. Shelbina is close to Shelbyville, and I've always wondered who Shelby was.

Missourians used to be called Pukes, Indianians were Hoosiers and Oklahomans Sooners. And so on. I never heard what they call Idahoans, so I'm only a former Puke. I love names.

Indianers? Indianites?
