WEEK 29 — TWO asterisks  
139. Foreign Transportation. Operating for only one week a year, a train line to this city moves over half a million people a day.
*140. 19th Century Americans. Though he became a Cabinet secretary & Chief Justice, once he wanted to change his name because of its “awkward, fishy” sound.  *
141. World War II. In 1943 millions of matchbooks were distributed in the Philippines with this 3-word quote to boost morale.

I swear I posted!  But when I just opened this text box, it was here!  Apparently I wrote it out, but didn't hit submit, I guess.

3/5 for last week.  I'll try to actually post this week's after the show tonight.

Thanks @Browncoat. That completes last week. I've missed posts in the past but it was easier for me to ask you again for your score than for me to back track and search. Yeah, I'm lazy like that. I figured you might be on another world excursion so didn't want to nag. Until today!

Week 31:  5/5  Overall: 98/153 (11 *). The questions must be getting easier or I'm getting smarter! I had only two 5/5 weeks in the first 21 weeks, then nothing, but now I've had 5/5 in two of the last 3 weeks!!!
