Andrew just told me Minnesota wasn't even a swing state "any more", it was just a Republican state.

It turned out a) he was of course wrong about all of this and b) it's because he had no idea which one was Minnesota on the map and thought I was from one of the Dakotas!

Perhaps, but making him sleep on the couch would be entirely justified :-)

He tried to tell me he was pretty close and I said "Are you from Wales?! It's pretty close to where you grew up!"

Or Scottish? It's definitely one of those, you can tell by his accent!

Not that I'm down on the Dakotas, mind you. I loved Wall Drug! I loved the Corn Palace! :)

I did too! I-90 was a big part of my childhood; I saw Mount Rushmore so many times I was able to get bored with it. And one of my best friends is from Bismarck; I remember being maid-of-honor in her wedding there fondly.

But, you know, it's just not the same as my beloved land of sky-tinted waters
