I think Daniel Boone once said "This is the right place." He was standing on the bank of the Kentucky river at the time, but since he was traveling alone and nobody, not even Indians, lived there, nobody heard him and it was a long time before Kentucky got around to becoming a state. Have I ever lied to you?
