[SOC] Something for everyone

[Bill Cunningham]

Good addition, Bill.

In the spirit of things, have added one for Tidewater Virginia.  Others
invited to add their own region.  The compendium could be fun.

You live in Tidewater Virginia if

1.  Cities are never in counties, but James City and Charles City are
counties with no city.
2.  Stopping at red lights is optional for NASCAR wannabees.
3.  You recognize at least two recipes for clam chowder that are NOT
Manhattan or New England.
4.  A nor'easter causes more damage than a hurricane.
5.  The highest land elevation in town is the dump.
6.  Mosquitoes maintain CAP over your house.
7.  Smithfield hams are not radio amateurs or bad actors.
