2. Finally! Dawn breaks over Marblehead!

FYI~ The phrase comes from here...

The phrase is used because of the double meaning derived from the name "Marblehead". The town is built on bedrock, known to be incredibly dense. The proposition that an idea "dawns" upon somebody is a long-held concept, the "light of reason" suddenly appearing. A person considered "dense" would be somebody who did not have ideas come easily to them. Therefore, "dawn broke over marblehead" would be the same as "the idea occurred to the dense-headed". There is very little deeper meaning than this.

I am from Massachusetts. I use it a lot~

Thanks be that Wyoming finally awoke to the dawn.

I image searched it and apparently they were supposedly praying for the black minister there last September, not to have ACA repealed. I do know the RWers did have prayer vigils though for repeal or prevention of ACA in the past 5 years.
