Some wording in the North Dakota state constitution puts it in conflict with the Federal Constitution. This means that North Dakota isn't exactly a state. A constitutional amendment will be voted on next November to change the wording. Until then...new flags with 49 stars????? 49 states
A store in Strongsville, OH uses a man in a gorilla suit for curbside advertising. It must've been a strange day at the 911 center when the call came in that reported a banana attacking a gorilla. The gorilla was not hurt after his altercation with the banana. The banana slipped away before he could be caught. gorilla attack
At a nursing home near Chicago, two dogs got married in front of 40 of their closest friends. Sparky Perez got hitched to Peanut Bobik last week. The groom sported a tuxedo and bow tie; while the bride sparkled in a fuchsia collar, white gown, and tiara. wedding
New labels have begun appearing on cigarette packs and this has caused calls to the "quit line" to increase. Some of the pictures are graphic and should make their message hit close to home for smokers. cigarette labels
Some fast food chains have started adding wine and beer to their menus. This is being done to increase sales during slow times but could have some unwanted consequences. fast food bars
We've all heard the horror stories about how bad mother-in-laws are but I think this one takes top honors. Carolyn Bourne is being called "mom-zilla" after an email that she sent to her soon-to-be daughter-in-law surfaced on the internet. She berates her daughter-in-law for some very petty things.

I spent a couple of days last week in Wisconsin Dells enjoying miniature golf, a water park, go-carts, Circus World, a 4-D movie, water skiing show, the exploratory, and a boat ride.
Pirates Cove golf was an immaculate course. They definitely spend a lot of time and effort keeping their grounds nice.
Mt. Olympus kept us cool in the water plus the go-carts were awesome!!
Circus World was much more than I expected. It's a bit out of the way but well worth the trip. There are displays of circus wagons from past to present, a kid's interactive circus, a big top with plenty of circus acts to wow. We even watched as a circus performer traveled across the river on a zip line--hanging by her neck.
The 4-D movie at Noah's Ark was a real treat. "Pirates" was entertaining and wet--loved it.
Tommy Bartlett's ski show was phenomenal. It's a new script this year and did a great job at keeping my granddaughter's attention. The exploratory is always fun to experience.
We topped off our mini vacation with the Lower Dells Boat tour. Matt and Melissa were our crew and they did a fantastic job. Melissa, I learned, is a student at UW-LaCrosse but lives in the Dells during the summer so she can work on the boat. Job well done Melissa!
I cannot say enough about those Dells Opener Cards. They are fabulous--don't miss out on yours next season.
