Did you know that the state of Rhode Island has actually has the longest name of any state. The official name is Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations.

All other governors will have to go a long way to beat this return. Next week, the Governor of the Blues Brothers state.

Great card and congrats on the auto. Fun post and I learned stuff.
