I'm such a dumbass. Even though I knew Ohio was wrong, it was the only river I could think of at the time. I should have been able to come up with Wabash, since I know people who live in Wabash!
Then again, influenza was just a dumbass stab, so I ended up 50-50 on the day. Ha!
I'm darned good and ready.
