In West Texas,Colorado City is [kal[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]reyD[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE] sIDI], with some vowel lengthening.

I sent out a puzzler a few minutes ago. I failed to remember that not

all of you would know kep j[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]rad[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE] from maIl[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]n. That's Cape Girardeau and

Milan, the latter being near [l[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE] pleD[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]] (La Plata) in northern Missouri.

And there's a Cairo [keyro]in Missouri too.
