I drove through this corridor today in my truck with out of state plates. I'm actually sitting in a crappy little town just a few miles away called Millstadt.

Reason #2 on why I would never live here.
Reason #1 is I have a lot of family in Collinville and this area.

If you read the article they tried to fire him but were forced to hire him back. It really is a f'd up system.

As someone who was born in Illinois and who went to school in Southern Illinois with a friend who lived near there - I can say playing banjo music is appropriate. That part of IL is a whole other world.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon.

And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
