Thanks to my good friend Dan for looking over this script. Many of his ancestors came over from Norway to moved the Midwest as part of that wave I mentioned that happened in the 1800s.

And I just gotta say, these two countries are amazing. The more I learn about the world, the more I get frustrated with my own country. We can be better. We ought to always aim to be better.

Anyway, short rant over. Thank you for your continued support on here. A lot of new folks started supporting me in April, and that was a pleasant surprise. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
