    I think Margaret will be our first 5 time champion this season. Amazingly calm for her first appearance.

    The U.S. – Canadian border cuts through an island in Lake St Clair and one in Detroit River, so Michigan should be the correct answer with a “land border” of about a mile.

    Clue Crew concept nicely showcased in field trip to George Ranch in Texas (I had not heard about it before). Alex Trebek tribute to his dear Mother on her 95th Anniversary Of Birth very moving and to his credit as a good son and made me tearful too.
