Q & A for Today

 

Alexa, what is the population

of New York City? Immediately

she answers, 8.8 million people.

How about the largest city in

the world, population-wise?

Tokyo, Japan with 37.8 million

people is her reply. Okay then,

what about Camp Point,

Illinois? How many folks live

there? And her response, located

in Adams County, Camp Point,

Illinois has a population of

1,120 people. Now is it rare,

my chances, that I can name

3 people I know from Camp

Point, Illinois? Now in my

lifetime, I am sure I have

met some folks from NYC

and likely from Tokyo, Japan

as well. But I’ll be damned

if I can recall any of their

names. Here and now,

I pose the same question to

you? Yes you. No need to

tell me your name and from

where you come. I’ve never

been any good at recalling

names. Alexa, where is

actor John Goodman from?

John Goodman was born

in St. Louis, Missouri in

1962, population, 302,000.

There you go. You and I

are now on the same page.

You’re welcome!
