A diamond in a museum
Crown jewels in London

A diamondback snake
Probably in a zoo

A Lou Diamond Phillips movie
Don't think so

Yep

3 Diamonds in a winning row on a slot machine
I wish!

A diamond in a major league baseball park

Tenn, of course

What do you think is the primary reason why people don’t evacuate when there is a mandatory evacuation order? (This is an opinion question – there are no right/wrong answers)
Nowhere to go; not enough money for gas, hotel, food; fear; wish to stay and protect what they can even when they can't.

For what reason would you personally consider changing your name (first, last or both)?
I am rather fond of my name as it is. My first name, while very common as a nick-name, is very uncommon as a legal first name. My last name is very uncommon.

If yes, whose jersey?
Never have. I do have a couple polos with team logos on them.

The last time you were in the mountains, where were you?
I was doing a road trip thru Montana. From Bozeman I drove down to Yellowstone and over to West Yellowstone. Then on over to Butte. Then up to Helena. On up to Great Falls. Back down to Helena where I took a side trip into the mountains. Then back to Bozeman. I crossed the Continental Divide a couple times.

What do you think is the primary reason why people don’t evacuate when there is a mandatory evacuation order? (This is an opinion question – there are no right/wrong answers)
People are stubborn. They also somehow seem to think they can ride things out and by staying everything will be ok.


Other than water, what other liquid do you not mind drinking at room temperature?
None. As to water I prefer it to be ice cold.

Challenge: Name one book, song, musical group, movie or TV show with these words in the title:
