    From Pekin, IL:
    A young male ruby-throated hummingbird checks out the security camera in this backyard. He's ready for his close-up, Mr. DeMille.

    @brenda "Near George?"

    It's over 150 miles!

    But the pic is cool!

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

        But I'm not that person.

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

            Yes, the pic is very cool!

                    I knew a girl from Pekin, IL. I did t realize it was that far from Chicago. I thought it was an outer burb.

                    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                                        Her last name was Jean.

                                        Education is extremely important.
