The Two State Dance

Our greeting cards are now in two states! Illinois and New Jersey.

I'm having a difficult time associating the two states, however. NJ has a state bird of the Eastern Goldfinch while IL is the Northern Cardinal. Not even close except they're both pretty.

I don't know about NJ, but Illinois loves to fund good things with strange ideas. So like for example in order for Illinois to pay for kids health insurance, we need lots of people to go gamble away their money...oh and maybe even smoke! So it's kind of like a never ending cycle. As long as people smoke and go to casinos, IL will have the money to pay for kids insurance which is weird cause that would not be much incentive for kids not to smoke - how will they get their insurance paid for?

I don't know what New Jersey pays for their kids insurance with.

Honestly, not something I worry about. Veterinarians are much cheaper than doctors...and sheep don't smoke.
