Now we come down to semantic discussions about what you said and what you meant to say
The border runs North-South, but when you cross it you're definitely driving more South than East. And there isn't a kink in the road at the crossing to make you head East just as you cross.

Part of it is on the other side of the International Date line. Not an unambiguous definer of east/west, though.

It always amuses me that Virginia reaches further west than West Virginia does...

From some parts of Santa Barbara you can watch the sun rise over the Pacific Ocean.

My take on that: I never post the best of any series.

Fun fact: Historical moments in photographic history.
The spooky part is, she's the clever one. It's not like he could go next door and just duck back for more shots is it!

Just like "It's not the fall from a rooftop building that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end".
