@brenda "Near George?"

It's over 150 miles!

But the pic is cool!

That's 'Minnesooota Near', George.

[George K]

A true Minnesooootan would have said, "It's over 2 hours."

But I'm not that person.

[Mik]

You betcha.

I think it's nearer to you than anyone else here, thus it's near George.

Yes, the pic is very cool!
