russet potatoes

I live in the state of Idaho.

Part of that is a mine (or mind) state, but that is a different subject.

We used to have the most one sided government in the US, but now we are only the 2nd most. We have one dominate church and one dominate governmental view point. And, we grow mostly one variety of potato.

Our governor is named Butch, and out next governor is likely to be Little. (Our back up governor, who is in line to be the big guy, is Brad Little.)

Our new congressman is named Raul, and was born in Puerto Rico, which some argue is not a part of the US (it really is though). He replaces a wealthy businessman who was born in the same village as my grandfather.

Remove one letter from our senior senator’s name and it is a slang word for excrement. Hmm.

Our other senator was reported to be the 12 richest in our millionaire forum we call the US senator. That is logical since his name is one letter beyond Rich, but is pronounced pretty much the same.

So I am going to go to south for a week. Their new governor was once the youngest governor his state, now, a long time later, he will be the oldest.

He is less than a year younger than I, and obviously has a lot more energy.

Briefly, I am envious.
