Quotes by Kathie Giorgio (?)

“The friend I spoke to yesterday about my gut emailed me this morning, He said, “We talk about following our “gut instincts.” In fact, the only other organ in the body with more neurons than the gut is the brain. It knows.”

“We have a new interchange near Milwaukee, where you can move from I-94 east to US-45 north. It used to be a godawful left exit, a sharp turn that slowed you down and then dumped you into fast-flying traffic with little time to merge.”
