Please forgive my double post; I have an update.

I have Minnesota done (not up yet-- I'll work on it ASAP, since I'm booked clear to capacity this week), but I'm STILL struggling with Mississippi. I'm working with PBL's suggestion and trying the Delta Blues stuff, and I found the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, but I can't find a picture. If you guys can tip me off as to where one is hiding, or could suggest an alternate place, I'd be immensely grateful. Thanks!

I have committed a new sin-- triple posting. I'm really sorry about it-- seriously.

I have the next two states up. (I've lost count on what part number it is.)

Minnesota

Mississippi (Thanks, Cassini! )

Enjoy, despite my triple-posting sin.

Happy to help. I'm just surprised that Eduardo didn't flee Minnesota screaming the moment the swords came out.

Good job!

Just now visited this thread: Excellent concept going on. It's so neat to see Foster's characters wandering around the United States; it's also quite funny, too.

I assume you're doing the states alphabetically, meaning that there's gonna be a few more of them to cover. No big.

However, I've got a suggestion for Texas-It involves Eduardo, some rope and a visit to a rodeo. It also probably involves Ed fleeing in terror soon after. Just a thought, since I'm so fond of the Lone Star State.

Thanks. Ed can surprise you, so maybe that's why he didn't run.

Glad you're enjoying it, Diamond Duchess.

I am doing everything alphabetically, but if I really pick up the pace, I'll get done sooner. I may have to take you up on your suggestion for Texas, since I don't have much planned for the Lone Star state.

My next two states are Missouri and Montana, so you guys have some ideas there, I'd be very grateful, particularly for Montana.

More great stuff, WiltsAK! Keep up the good work!

I have an idea for Missouri. Hannibal, the home town of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin is there, right on the Mississippi. Mr. Sam Clemens aka Mark Twain lived there himself as a boy. The entire "old town" has been turned into a museum for Sam and his character Tom. I was there a number of years back, quite a fascinating place. Lots of history, and even some fun humor since Mark Twain was famous for his comedy.

Thanks, Lynnie!

I actually have Missouri all planned out, but thank you so much for the idea. If the idea I have planned doesn't turn out quite right * cough Wilt in Marine Corps dress blues that I Photoshopped out of sheer boredom cough *, I'll see what Hannibal turns up. (Whenever I think of Hannibal, I think of Col. Potter from M*A*S*H. Yes, I'm weird like that.) I'm going on an absolute idea-finding binge, and I have stuff for Missouri, Montana, Nebraska and Nevada. I'm getting ready to start in on all the "New <state name>" states. Whoo hoo-- I'm getting closer to Ohio!

More double posting! Grr... (Maybe I should just go make dinner...) Anyway, here's the next set:

Missouri (Sorry it's so skinny-- the picture I was working with was skinny and making it fatter would have thrown the proportions all outta whack.)

Montana (I think that Montana turned out very well. )

Enjoy!

Aww, I just love the one with Wilt and the puppy! Adorable. The one with Mac is nice too, very well proportioned.

Uhm, I gotta ask though, where did you get the picture of the geyser? Cuz, well, that's not Old Faithful. For one thing, there are no palm trees in the northern Rocky Mountains, which is where Yellowstone National Park is. The actual Old Faithful is in the middle of a large sand pit, with lodgepole pine trees around. For another thing, although a small portion of the park is in Montana (and also Idaho), most of the park is in Wyoming, and Old Faithful itself is in Wyoming.

Sorry, I had to say something. It's still an awesome picture though. And it's still a beautiful geyser. Nice job, as always.

Thanks. I really like the puppy one.

Oops... The site was note.amherst.edu (the short version) and when I typed "Old Faithful" into my search engire, it pulled it up. Gah, I'm such a dorkfish. (Bill Engvall reference) Thanks for the gentle crtiques, Lynnie. I apprecite them. Them and their gentleness.

P.S. Does anyone have any ideas for New Jersey and New Mexico? New Mexico has Roswell, but that may contradict/be redundant with Nevada.
