It is time for a trek to Wisconsin!
Seems like almost all the big powerball winners have bought their tickets in Wisconsin.

18. Yes!
It was between the ages of 26 and 29, and they offered me money to go there!

22. That's the truth.
My husband refers to my years in Wisconsin as my time "behind the Cheddar Curtain."

3. Don't come today. There's snow and rain and wind and hail
falling from the SKY!

It's a hellscape.

10. You didn't notice it because all the junk falling out of it obscured your
view.

I've heard tell of it though. It's got to be up there.

11. Indeed!
It was precipitating. I didn't know if I could turn right on a red light in WI, either. It's like a crazy parallel universe.

4. Hm...it hasn't worked for me so far...
:shrug:

We're having a very stereotypical day here...pretty much anything that can fall from the sky (except airplanes) has.

5. Southeastern Minnesota got it too
maybe not as badly though. I hear Madison and Green Bay's airports are experiencing heavy delays.

8. Actually, they haven't - the big one a few Christmases ago was WV
and the last one, a few months ago, was somewhere else, too. But I can't remember where.

15. I did that once...
When I was visiting home last year, I popped over to Hudson and bought a few...didn't work unfortunately!!!

I have a fantasy about winning one of these 300 million lottery jackpots. I'd use half to build the Twins a new stadium, and give half to Greenpeace...at least in my fantasy!! :-)
