I am learning a lot about this country as we pass across it. I am seeing firsthand the misconceptions I have held. For example, I thought Idaho potatoes come from Idaho. Now I think they are just a type of potato and actually come from other places. We drove across the upper section of Idaho, right where it starts to fatten out. It was the most mountainous, curviest, interstate we had been on and that includes all of Montana and the Rockies. I expected ...

I can understand why they say it is God's c...
