In "Betrayal", when Cassi was trying to cut off her wrist ties, she tried something from the pencil holder. The comment was "They were dull as Des Moines". What's up with that? Des Moines isn't dull! Come hang out in my ER on a Saturday night - nothing dull about that. Des Moines has lots of sports activities, shows, & arts to take part in.

Hi Carol,
You're right of course. Des Moines is a fine city. That was a bit of an inside joke. I grew up in Toledo Ohio, about which John Denver wrote a song.
You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio
Well I spent a week there one day ...
So when I was looking for something non cliche, that came to mind, but then I needed a D to go with dull. Apologies if I offended.
I spent a lot of time in ER's while working in the medical industry, and have a great appreciation for the people who work there and the unbelievable forces in play that you deal with evey day. My hat's off to you.
All my best,
Tim
