I never want to return to Times New Roman. I am a proud and loud supporter of sans-serif fonts!

Ah! Hugh Glass! Since that story took place in my home state when it was an unorganized territory, we're all forced to learn about it and supposedly care about it. One of the reasons a friend of mine moved to Japan was because he couldn't stand the people in our state being so obsessed with it!

Cool! 😎

I live in Brookings! (I used to live in Aberdeen, and am originally from Herreid and Roscoe.) Was your husband born in Watertown?
