40. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but powerful beyond measure. We were all meant to shine, as children do. When our light shines, we liberate others.

I made a comment about the entire post.  I don't support such violence.  

We have a lot of scenic beauty in Wisconsin and Chicago is all concrete and steel.   :-/

Hey!  Wait a minute....  Don't you have the Cardinals down there?  They were a football team from St. Louis.  It would be very easy to drag you into the middle of this too, ya' know.

Dawn   ;) ;D

 ??? I know nothing about football.  Hmm...St. Louis you say?  Sound like snowbirds to me.  Of course, it's getting hot down here now, so all the snowbirds have flown back home.   :)

Quote) Don't order a bottle or a can of soda here. Here it's called "pop". Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to an a-s-s kicking.

Now that I live out side of Wisconsin, I fully understand how true this all is.  Except that growing up in Elkhart Lake, it was soda.  We kicked thosde who said pop or even soda-pop.

Quote9) Don't try to fake a Wisconsin accent. We don't have an accent. That will incite a riot and you will get your a-s-s kicked

Don't call a Wisconsin accent a Minnesota accent.
