These tedious political ads are hard to avoid when you're away from home and the security of your remotes' off button.
One thing I have noticed though- is how the various "Show Me" pollys and/or wannabes pronounce the state's name.
I pronounce Missouri like one would pronounce the Mississippi river: with Es.
It's NOT the Mississippuh river.
Also- just yesterday I found out a family link on my Mom's side to Harry Truman. Some in Mom's bloodline were married to Shipps- which was the maiden name of Harry Truman's paternal grandmother.
I've long been an admirer of the late President since meeting him on a school trip to Truman Library in the early 1960's.
Now I can say with this revelation of a distant string that Harry Truman was family.
We sure could use Harry now.
