Kim Kardashian Files for Divorce

Kim Kardashian files for divorce after only 72 days.

First, who cares?

Second, we knew it would happen anyway.

Third, every single couple I know in a same sex, long term relationship has been together for twenty years or longer and they aren't allowed to legally marry.

I do not watch The Kardashians and never will. But I did think this was an interesting fact to post.

Cities with Highest Number of Same-Sex Couples...New Hope Among Them

This was only supposed to be a one post day. But I saw this and couldn't resist. I didn't know I was living in a city with one of the highest numbers of same-sex couples. I just thought it was a nice little artistic town with a lot of gay people. Now I'm glad all the stress I went through nine years ago to buy this house has paid off.
