Wow, a Gerry family of Marblehead, Mass sighting.

Great story and famous political cartoon of the District looking like a snake that made it catch on, hence the term "Gerry-mandering".

Usually the Bykster is name-dropping some trainer of a one-time wonder that fits perfectly and obscurely all at once or that Crist got his critque qualities from the Dam side and I sit stymied. For once, I am on the sme page.

For me, this is Super Thrusday, 24 hours late!

Jeopardy throws an occasional racing question, and has the "Daily Double" feature which was probably inspired from Trebek's racing background.
