I got ten cents off my drink but you could get ten points! Points awarded to the person who answers this daily question from Caribou first. [Want a further hint? I blogged about this waaaay back in January as the subject of a non-fiction book I was reading at the time. I love this era of American history.] Seeing this question was a small portion of the joy to my day; further tales of estate sales and general creepiness associated within that matter to come tomorrow. [Cliffhanger! Are you on the edge of your seat? I’m reading Dan Brown right now on the kindle. I imitate what I can.]
[ You might wonder what the points do or what they are worth … good question. ]
Update: Adam, less than 12 hours later, commented correctly with “Who is Thomas Jefferson?” Congrats to Adam! If you’re keeping score, that’s ten points to Adam and zero to you. Better get going if you expect to win this thing.
[ You might wonder what this thing is or how to win it … good question. ]
there's no place like gnome. 
Who is Thomas Jefferson?
That's answered in Jepordy fashion.
