I don’t know what to say – I’m underwhelmed and am planning a trip to Alabama, as I’ve always wanted to visit the Third World, but am cash strapped ATM. My students each received a state quarter and had to research the symbols. (I call it “CSI” (Coin State Investigation), but they don’t get to snap on latex gloves. One boy, originally from Mexico, got Montana. It was hard enough trying to explain the “Big Sky” concept to him…

“Montana – Any farther north and you’d be in Canada”

Ha! Ha! I love it. I’ll add it to the list. I love the coin state project. I can see how Big Sky could be a confusing one to teach (aren’t all skies big?). Janelle

Could be worse department
North Dakota – You don’t want to visit: We don’t want to live here
Oklahoma – We’re OK, You’re not
Alabama – The Third World, but easier to get to
Kentucky – Tobacco is a vegetable
Nevada- We have our own nuclear testing site

These are great! I love tobacco is a vegetable. I thought it was an herb? Janelle

I couldn’t think of any slogans as funny as yours or FOTC’s. Since I’m so lame, maybe the Montana Tourist Industry should hire me!
Oh, come on – I like the Beauty is Infinite one … and yes, Montana has extreme temperatures. But at least it is a dry heat. If you come up to Glacier again you have to let me know. I’ll show you some favorite places/hikes. Janelle
