Where's AJ next?

  • @nobarkus:

    Now why didn't Dorthy put a restraint on Toto? The house spinning around like that, very, very dangerous.


    "We're not in Kansas are we Toto?"

    Nobarkus - You are hilarious!

    Witch-i-ta where the Wicked Witch lives?

    BTW - I've seen The Wizard of Oz every year since I was 5 years old - it gets better and better the older I get.

  • We will be there tomorrow to pick up a load. It's the only place in the US that boasts Dorothy's actual house.

    I figured I'd given it away with just the one clue…

    Y'all are a lot of fun!

  • Self portraits are supposed to go up in "other pets"

    Whaaa?! :confused:Are you saying I look like an animal? Baroooo!!:p

  • Dan: You can always make me smile….

    We have the state named: Kansas, but where will we be in Kansas?

    (I decided to try it this way to make it more fun and open us up to possible visits.)

  • wamego is where the "museum" is

  • Well I know there is a replica of her house in Liberal…is that where you are?

  • Dan little off track here but self portrait not a "animal". LOL

    I gave my answer a few posts back that it started with a "W". ;)

  • We were in…

    Yes, Ms. Rita: Liberal, KS

    I thought that one would be easier!

    Next one coming shortly...

  • So originally Dorthy's house was in the middle of nowhere, KS, blew off it's foundation and landed in Emerald City, then they towed it back over the rainbow to Liberal? WOW, how'd they do that?

  • It's been a very long time since I read The Wizard of Oz. Is Wichita where the story starts?

    I googled "Dorothy's House Wichita" and nothing came up except ways to get to Liberal. That's where the house is that is advertised all over Kansas as THE Dorothy's House. From what I understand (and I have been wrong before…it could happen again) the house in Liberal is where they did some of the filming.

    But I love the Witch-ita reference...:D

    I think Dorthy's house was just considered to be a farm house "out in the middle of nowhere".

    So, I guess I couldn't have seen you in my recent trip throught the city of flying pigs (for those unaware, there is one). Two hours of stop and go southbound, trying to get to the airport. I was in the backseat and looked at every truck on the off chance there might be an AJ sighting. Obviously, no luck, as you were a few time zones away :) Had I seen AJ, I might have jumped out of the car I was in and jumped into your truck for a couple of miles…just to say 'Hi'...that's how slow going it was. My advise, for north or southbound, take the by-pass...but what do I know? There were plenty of trucks willing to wade through the traffic.

    I love Chicago…most truckers think I'm a kook for having that opinion, but I've been known to go 75 miles out of my way just to sit in Chicago traffic. :D There's a certain energy in Chicago I can't find anywhere else in the world. And yes, that says a lot...I've been in major cities from Tokyo to Prague (Praha) to Munich to Seoul as well as amost every major city in the US. There's just something about Chicago.

    We were in Ohio when I wrote it. Ohio was admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803, but Congress apparently forgot to vote on the resolution. It was finally rectified on August 7, 1953, which technically makes Ohio the 47th state. However, it is counted as the 17th because it wasn't Ohioans who created the problem. Who says our Federal government isn't efficient? Zanesville, OH is the location of the Y Bridge, which starts and ends on the same side of the river. But that's where we were. The wolverine is the official state animal and nickname of the state. Fur trappers from Canada brought pelts across the state and folks further south assumed (there's that word again) the pelts were trapped in Michigan. The Detroit Red Wings assembled the Russian Five, who propelled the Hockey team to the Stanley Cup in 1997. Within a few days of the win, one of the team members was permanently benched in an auto accident, but the remaining four were instrumental in the 1998 and 2002 Stanley Cup wins for the Red Wings. We will be in Grand Rapids, MI tomorrow morning. Ms. Basenjimamma: The temperature here right now is 51F. :)

    @Natalplum: You both are in my thoughts. I hope your DH comes home safe and healthy. You will NEVER be lonely with your B's around. They are the best to call on for some love and comfort. Not to mention a lot of laughs! That's the best thing having a B brought into my life. I was so depressed, and then along came a B to make me laugh again. Worth their weight in gold, for sure….
