There is sickness in the Tate home and I (Joel) am currently about as ill as I have been in a very, very long time. When you lack the energy to do just about anything and you find a "Presidents of the United States of America" laminated placemat and a Rutland area phonebook within reach what else are you going to do.
The Presidents whose surnames are not shared with anyone contained in our local phone book:
Washington
Polk
Fillmore
Buchanan
Garfield (although there were a couple of Garfinkels)
Roosevelt
Hoover
Eisenhower
Reagan
Clinton
Obama (although there were a number of Obara and O'Baras)
Doesn't it seem strange that there would be so many of our presidents who are not represented here in our area, not that Rutland is a demographic microcosm of our nation, or anything.
Millard Fillmore seething about the fact that his progeny has done such a bad job of perpetuating his name.
