Monday is Presidents Day (oh boy!)...

But what do you know about the Vice Presidents?

Here's an interesting quiz
...with great explanations of the answers.

OK, I have given it some thought, but wonder if you could provide the enlightenment? Where was Rooty when the Dave-speak answer was: "Post Office"?
------------------------------------------
He was telling me that Rooty was in the car.

When Rooty was a little puppy, the lady at the drive-through at the local post office insisted that I put him in the drawer. You should have see the look on his little face when he popped up on the other side. He then disappear into the post office so everyone could see him. She then brought him back, put him back in the drawer, and he popped up on my side. I can only imagine what the people in the cars behind us thought about all this. So, Rooty loves to go to the post office.

Roots also will NOT come if he is called. If you want him to come, you have to use a magic word: Dustbuster, vacuum, shovel, hose, McDonald's, or post office. You can also turn on a dustbuster or vacuum cleaner, or drag a shovel across the driveway (the neighborhood favorite). Dave probably had him outside and could not find him, so he probably yelled "post office." Rooty came at 100 mph, to Dave's car, expecting to go for a ride.

So, the conversation without dave-speak:

Jim: Where's Rooty

Dave: He's in my car.

Jim: Where are you going?

Dave: To the post office.

Jim: Do you need stamps?

Dave: No. I didn't know where Rooty was so I yelled "post office."

Jim: Say "hi" to XXXXXX for me.

Geez...I guess I don't know too much about Veeps. I got only 9 right, and maybe four of them were total guesses.

Nothing says Presidents Day like a sale at your local Ford dealer...
--------------------------------------
yep, nothing honors a dead president like a good deal on a Crown Victoria

It's storming here...what weird weather is this! It'll be making it's way over to your side of the river shortly.
-------------------------------------------------
oops! I'm actually on a high hill on the Missouri River to the west of you, I should have warned you it was coming. I'm heading hack to Illinois as soon as the storm on the St. Clair, Union, Villa Ridhe, Pacific, Eureka path clears. The temperature is supposed to drop 40 degrees! The St. Louis TV stations are not making much over it, but it's not near Chesterfield yet so they don't care.
