17 people at three states each should get it

And Florida!  Ponce de Leon comes to mind —

Then New Mexico –

@sffh Of course, in English – the chorus is

And here we have Idaho,
Winning her way to fame.
Silver and gold in the sunlight blaze,
And romance lies in her name.

Idaho.  At least, that was the Idaho state song!

That is a fantastic story, thank you.

Ah! I couldn’t imagine the announcement “The distributor is entering the building.”

Just on the clue – director.

I was ridiculously late and very lucky today

Wonderful – driving distance to Capitol Hill in Seattle.  On the list for the next trip!

I am amazed that no one else here has experienced the drink because as usual it was a long time after 3 (my time for this!) that I finally remembered to check and I got the benefits of three hints (thank you).

I would see Big Red in small country stores in eastern Washington, and gave into the temptation now & then!  SWEET but fun now & then.

@bazukhov I agree that Trump is the worst President we have had and I didn’t expect to say that about anyone after “some people disassemble – that means not to tell the truth” George W.

The first anti-war demonstration I marched in was in San Francisco against the second Iraq war.  It received almost no media coverage which surprised me a bit then.

I think American corruption in Ukraine should be investigated, and by the Ukrainians themselves as well as the US.  Even if it’s shown to be technically legal we deserve to know who is influencing directly or buying influence for large amounts of money.
