I was born upstate in Lincoln- exit mile markers #123, #126, & #130, off of I-55. 3 hours from Chicago, and 2.5 hours from St. Louis. Like you, I disavow that miserable state in total. Great people in almost all counties, but outnumbered by Obama’s legions.
Did some goose hunting down by Reynolds on the refuge.
INSPIRING speech by GOV. Pence. Great choice for VP.
