Revenge of the Spanish Mullet
Yes ladies and gentlemen, the Spanish Mullet still exists nearly an entire year later after my first in-person sighting. I could not be more pleased.
This lovely specimen (at left) is of the common sub-species mullitus rastalus common among Spanish mullets found in La Rioja and Pais Vasco. He was found in good condition at a local rock and jazz club in the city of Logroņo.
The current operating theory is mullitus rastalus may be found with increasing frequency depending on how close one gets to the city of Bilbao. Independent survey data from other sources has suggested that this theory may in fact be true. The theory is summarized in the below graphic.
Any additional details on the phenomenon of this "laid back" hair style would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anyway to make a map like this of The US?

This map was very easily constructed using a digital image manipulation program. Simply create a new layer over a base map, create a layer mask to be the shape of the region you want to contain the gradient, and fill the gradient in the region.

I, having lived in Logroņo for quite some time last year, can attest for the alarming existence--or "survival", if you will--of the mullet. It is hideous, and this recent photo is, I must say, one of your best, Jordan. Good work, my friend!
Oh, and don't you just love how obviously happy he is with his life? Not you, Jordan. The Spaniard.
