Yesterday's Answer:

Nestled in the heart of the White River National Forest and surrounded by the peaks of the Elk Mountains, Aspen is well known as a ski destination in Colorado. Founded as a mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom and later named "Aspen" because of the abundance of aspen trees in the area, the city boomed during the 1880s, its first decade of existence. In the late 20th century, the city became a popular retreat for celebrities. As a result of this influx of wealth, Aspen boasts the most expensive real estate prices in the United States. It remains a popular tourist destination, with outdoor recreation in the surrounding White River National Forest serving as a summertime complement to the four ski areas in the vicinity.

Today's Question:

6 years

10 years

12 years

indefinite


🍂🍁🍂

[JoGee]

🗓
Previous Answer: According to the U.S. Constitution, Supreme Court justices "hold their offices during good behavior," which means their terms are essentially indefinite. As long as the justice is physically and intellectually fit, and wishes to continue serving, he may sit for as long as he or she choose and can only be removed from office by impeachment. The only Justice to be impeached was Associate Justice Samuel Chase in 1805. The House of Representatives passed Articles of Impeachment against him; however, he was acquitted by the Senate.

Beagle

Greyhound

Labrador

[JoGee]

Yesterday's Answer:

🐶 Snoopy is Charlie Brown's pet beagle in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. Snoopy, arguably the world's most beloved cartoon beagle, first appeared on the comic strip scene on the October 4, 1950 strip, two days after the first strip. He was called Snoopy for the first time a month later, on November 10. The original drawings of Snoopy were inspired by Spike, one of Schulz's childhood dogs. Although this dog was a pointer, and not a beagle as was Snoopy, family photos of the dog confirm a certain physical resemblance.

TODAYS QUESTION:

Sun

Adventure

Eureka

Beaches

🍂🍁🍂I

[JoGee]

Yesterday's Answer:
👍. The state motto of California is the Greek word Eureka, meaning "I Have Found It." The expression refers to the momentous discovery of gold near Sutter's Mill in 1848. The California State Seal has included the word "eureka" since its original design by Robert S. Garnett in 1850; the official text from that time describing the seal states that this word's meaning applies "either to the principle involved in the admission of the State or the success of the miner at work". "Eureka" became the official motto of California in 1963.
