more corrections

  • While I was correct that crudo means raw, cenote doesn't mean well; it is derived from a Mayan word for cenote.
  • The Empire State Building is struck by lightning about 100 times per year.
  • Roses were often planted in vineyards to indicate rot, mildew, or other problems on the rose petals before they show on the grape vines.
  • The underground lunch room is in Carlsbad, not Yellowstone.
  • It was North Dakota that wanted to (still wants to?) remove the direction from its name.
