How the fuck do you cram 257 rivers into a space that size? Like, we can’t even manage the Colorado (no, the other one … how we have one flowing through Austin escapes me).

…and major streams. Don’t forget major streams!
I don’t know shit though, I just pulled that from Wikipedia to support a really bad pun.🤣

I think “major streams” are more generally referred to as “rivers.”

Maybe they just have the 2 words so there’s information lost in translation?
