The one-sided battle between Trumpet Rob and Sax Dan

35. I’ve been to 33 states in the U.S., 10 in Mexico, and 1 in Australia. I still haven’t visited Canada, but that’ll have to wait until Moof asks me. It occurred to me today that I always mention Trumpet Rob to my friend Daniel, but never the reverse. ((Then again, I see Daniel a…
