Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 15, 2021

What about South Dakota?

My grandfather used to say all kinds of things, most of them very, very lame. I loved him anyway.

Utah had two seasons, winter and road repair.

My grandfather used to say things too, but I don’t dare to repeat them here!

Minnesota has mosquito or dive bombers and beer drinking.

…the very idea of a North Dakota leads to voter suppression…

..or does just living in a less populous state give you more political power?…I always get these two ideas confused…

…both Texas and California want to split apart just for the idear of having more Senators…

…that is the exact reason for a North Dakota…

…one person equals one vote…

…I say, as a form of compromise…

…to split up both North and South Dakota so that we have both Ne &Nw Dakota and both Se &Sw Dakota…

…more than twice the political power with even less population…

…Cleveland is already upset that its political power is weakened by saying instead of,‘The Greater Cleveland Area’…that most people call it Northeastern Ohio…

…

…might as well make that a separate state…

…and what a funky looking Ohio it will leave behind…

…finally, I am chewing smokeless tobacco this next couple of weeks…

…to identify with people with addictions…

… & …

…as my niece likes to claim…

…thank you microbreweries for turning my addiction into as hobby….

DUCK Season or RABBIT Season…. my bro in law hunts elk in NW North Dakota. If he had it his way, he would hunt and fish most of the time.

To many trips to the dele-gate is on BILL GATES as his window money maker is like turkey on rye, toasted and mayo, clinic if needed.

Flat maps are deceptive. I like to think that Maine is far north, but a lot of places in the US are farther up than Estcourt Station. Brr. North Dakota can have it.

I ah made a mistake when Lassie uses # has become, Lassis uses *. pound or star of the show. go figure.

But there are four seasons of Fargo on Netflix.

As far as the Dakotas….I think I’ll stay where I am!

In Montana, the two seasons are Winter and July …!

‘…and then he left the state. Nobody’s seen him for years. But still, we’re stuck with two seasons: this winter and last winter! AUGH! ’

I had a grandpa who was capable of such japery, but he died before I was born. The grandpa I did know was … well, for a guy from a great big city, he was sure a rube.

You know, you’re free to leave.

I always get this confused. Has anyone seen Normal Fell and Jack Klugman in the same room at the same time? Aren’t they the same person?

ND had a mild winter this year. And what I mean by that is, it was pretty nice the whole time, except the parts where it wasn’t. But, it could always be worse, and has been.

ha ha! archival content. this is a good one Ms Burritt !!

with two hours of sunlight, 12:00pm to 2:00pm

Is that Robin Gibb?

Now is the winter of our lamecontent.

Granddaddy was a regular comedian, wasn’t he? Ho, ho. Hum.

Nothing wrong with North Dakota that a little more direct sun couldn’t cure….

Lived in N.D. during my toddler years, scarred me for life. Hate snow.

Even the food needs extra seasoning.

… I was on the Enchanted Highway…

…when the idea ran through my mind that Fort Lincoln was in North Dakota, not South…

…actually, maybe I just dreamt that…

…The Plains Art Museum will do that you know…

…of course you know…

….you’ve biked the Maah Daah Hey Trail …

…Chateau de Mores …

…as my Pepe used to say…

What is that thing she is holding?

A gourd half full of lubricant.

Rattling of the beans.

Flesh until 5.

God ate.

Subliminal poetry, good names for bands, or a hipster roach coach menu. You decide.

I hear there’s a sale on wood chippahs in Fargo …!

Day 2: The good thing about North Dakota is that it provides a buffer between South Dakota and Canada….
