Linkfest - sort of

Instead of a true linkfest, here's two:
First, besides English and Spanish, the most commonly spoken language in each state.  Go Minnesota for being original.

Second, and most importantly, is these questions.
1. You must know one insanely cool time-saving or life-enhancing trick that would make all our lives easier or better (or in the case of the "unroll the rim to increase ketchup capacity" trick, both). Go on and enlighten us already! I'm going with the glass top stove polish of baking soda and dish soap. 1:1 ratio. Apply in a 'wax on, wax off' method. Rinse. Enjoy.

2. Think back to everything you've ever witnessed. We'll wait. Now think of the kinds of videos that go crazy viral. What's something you saw live that, had you had a camera rolling, every website in the world would have shared the clip? Mom's beer getting knocked over by a home run off Tony Gwyn. Even if it was in batting practice.  

3. You often hear people say the book was better than the movie version. Can you think of cases where you loved both the book and the movie? The Deathly Hallows. I loved what finally happened to Professor Snape, and his story. And it was the only plot line I thought the movies did a better job than the books.  

4. Your turn! If you've got a question for the group, ask it here. Have a great weekend! Favorite weekend activity in the summer? Mine is Saturday morning Zumba and then Farmer's Market breakfast.
