Thank you, Alice! Actually, we DO live in Minnesota. And we are all characters in Keilor's books! smile! Hilda is living proof that we do have a few folks here that aren't all Norvegians and Svedes.

In Frost, a nearby town (population 180) where I used to live and all my relatives are from, we have an old athletic field that partially fills with water in one corner every time it rains hard. We lovingly call it Lake OnceInAwhile. Honest.

Town pranksters have been known to "decorate" it now and then: once a clawfoot bathtub showed up in the middle of the "lake", the next day a lady mannequin was in the tub waving to passers-by, once a boat, another time a shark fin, various No Fishing signs, a Lake OnceInAwhile sign, etc.

Uffda! Ya shure, yew betcha, we really dew exist!
