*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

     In St. Paul, Minnesota, where I grew up, everyone called it "pop".
     In eastern Kansas, where my mother grew up, they called it "sody-pop".
     MOTAS did time in Austin, Texas and calls it "soda-water".
     In California, I always feel weird[er] when I call it "pop".
