Thoughts on a Friday the 13th

As you’ll see if I ever manage to actually finish and post my account of my late trip to Indiana I am a child of competing environments: urban and rural. I have to say, however, that I have had my fill of the rural just now. Went to the Fair in my hometown, it’s damned scary to think I came from this stock.
As odd as Indiana is, at least they know who they are and are comfortable with it. People in Mercersburg really don’t know what they’re about. In a small group you will find goths, skate punks, country boys, yuppies, wiggers, and plain old rednex.

Scary place.
Managed to look at a little bit of the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Greatest moment of the night? The entry of the team from free Iraq. As always my loyalties lie with the United States but I have to add another nation to the list of teams my heart cheers for: Ireland, Israel and Iraq. Good luck.
