After the awards ceremony, we had a family lunch at a Des Moines brew pub. One of my heirs and assigns had just accepted an academic award and shaken hands with the governor and with Lieutenant Governor Kimberly Reynolds. She was generally unknown until Gov. Branstad picked her as running mate. My son idly wondered, "Where did she come from?" I replied helpfully, "Out of left field."
Then, never one to shut up at opportune times, I noted that she's at least the third consecutive female loot gov because we found out that if we put "them" there we never have to give "one" an important job.
I'll probably try not to say that again while sitting at a table with three lovely and liberated ladies. :)

(Turns out she's the fifth.)
