You can't beat originality, Trudy sounds like fun to me.

In response to "J5: ranting poetic on fun fact day"

Exactly my point! If New York and California and Minnesota were so progressive, why have they not had a woman in an impact role like governor? Instead, Wyoming of all places figured it out long ago. Why don't we have any decent doctors in this frozen tundra. I'd settle for a decent doctor, male or female, when living in this frigid wasteland called Minnesota in the dead of winter.

Have New York and California ever had female governors? I know they have had celebrity guys like Linda Ronstadts ex squeeze, Jerry Brown, and of course, who could forget the Terminator, Arnold and now New York has one of the Cuomo Dynasty.

Maybe they have had women in charge and I've forgotten. I am trying to think of one governor in either state or in my ultra liberal home state of Maryland. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (Robert Kennedy's eldest child) ran there and lost a while back. They are great at telling other parts of the country what they should do though.

Have you had a female governor there in Minnesota?

I know Texas had Ann Richards and South Carolina Nickey Haley.

Otherwise, I can't think of many. Arizona, Jan something or other.

My brain is frozen and we aren't half as cold in the state I currently live in where there have been no women governors. Bundle up there up north!

George Washington invented term limits, too. Awesome founding father to emulate!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion! I'm nearly positive the NFL will not be out of business any time soon. All the people I know who are into football are just as into it now as they were before the protesting stuff.

In response to "annoyance - major and minor"

LOL Cheri!! I have a bad case of CRS too! It drives my husband nuts and other times it amuses him because I tend to remember obscure and useless facts. For example I can remember a neighbor's last name that we haven't seen or heard from in over 10 years but I cannot remember that we made actual plans to do XYZ today.

Hey, it's gift. Free entertainment... embrace it.

Minnesota Smart

I am back from vacation now. You up for a story? (Branson, Missouri -- thank you for asking!)

We had a fairly uneventful trip from southern Minnesota to Branson MO until we hit Des Moines. My sister was a two-lane only driver so when we hit the city driving, she kept saying, "I'm scared." She was doing fine until she figured out where we were, I swear! So I told her I would switch to driving when she pulled over. I should never have said that – it was her cue to pull over and switch drivers, like right now! So at the next Enter lane -- you know the kind that have the long-running enter lane running parallel to the freeway? You know how there is that V where the enter lane merges with the freeway traffic? -- That’s where she stopped and got out to switch spots. We had us a Chinese fire drill on a freeway. Yep, they build us smart in Minnesota.

When she was settled in the backseat, she is looking around and wondering out loud how we would ever get back on the freeway. I just said “Watch me.” I gunned it and merged three lanes over in about a minute and a half. When I asked if she was alright, she said, “Yes, I was under the seat and didn’t see anything.”

True story.

The hubby says I am the kind that has to tell everything I know to whoever will listen. I don't think that's true. I keep plenty of secrets from him, he would have a heart attack if he knew everything.
