Trivia from songs

*Bows and flows of angel hair,
And ice cream castles in the air.
And feather canyons everywhere,
I’ve looked at clouds that way.

But now, they only block the sun.
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I could have done,
Had clouds not been in my way.*

Of course, you would know about Lodi since you live (or lived) in CA.

Hint: There’s Lodi’s all over the place. Lodi - Wikipedia

As for Yankee Doodle: Gotta throw in an easy one at least once in a while! :slight_smile: (okay, my smilies don’t always work because I usually run with JavaScript offed.)

Wow, how did I miss seeing this one?

Kiss my ass, Keemosabe. I’ve bought a boat, I’m heading off to sea.

Your smilies aren’t working because you are putting a hyphen in them :-). If you want the little yellow guy to show up here, use just a colon and parenthesis :).

Well, OK, but according to Wikipedia, the relevant Lodi is the one in California.

Yes, that’s true. (I live just about a half-hour drive from Lodi Ca.)
Likewise, Jesse Ventura adopted his name from Ventura, CA.
BTW, yes, about the smilies too. They don’t always work for me because I forget to enable JavaScript :AND: I don’t know all the codes. Yes, I also know I can look them up if I feel like bothering. Ditto all the BB codes.
