So, I realise we are not in the deep of the deepest south, but regardless, one cannot but admire some of the inherent benefits of inbreeding on the human species. Never have so many people with so few teeth and such little clothing, sported so many rings on their fingers and tattoos on their torsos. Hell, I am fairly sure some of them have never worn a shirt at all. I am also quite aware that this sort of slant doesn’t go down too well with, well, anyone really. However, I am not worried, as I rely on these people not givin’ too darn much about them darn interwebz.

On an entirely related note, there was a burglary in my aunts’ hotel room and the thieves got away with some cameras and wedding stuff that was meant for Hanna and Dusty. Damn burglars. Dissin’ me and my family. Now, we’ve already been in touch with the A-Team and I can assure you, they already know who the perpetrators were and are in process of kitting their helicopter. And tank. And Russian submarine. Although that won’t be of much use here on the mainland, but regardless, MR-T will be patrolling the coast in the Red October with Sean Connery. Smoking pipes and talking about man issues. In their underwear.

On a completely unrelated note, however, this evening we went to see some Basic Ball in Cincinnati. Although the level of basic ball was quite fundamental, it remained an astonishing experience. Chiefly because the stadium was so big, and because there was a constant stream of mind numbing entertainment to break up the mind numbing nature of basic ball. Actually, I did enjoy the base ball, but still, it will never live up to good old English cricket, as it is far less boring and less intricate.

Also I wasn’t able to purchase beer as my assport wasn’t valid proof of age at the Baseball stadium. The sales person muttered about State Law and something and so on. But it might have been for the best in any case, as all they had was Bud, and various “light” beers for $7.5. At least if my passport gets stolen by some Lexington yobs, they won’t be able to use it to buy over priced beer at the Reds game.

Let’s continue the unwritten tour guide to the states known as Pennsylvania and New York. First observation, well not quite the first, but somewhere in there amongst the first ten observations, I have noted that I’ve been to Warsaw, Wales, and Hamburg. Next week, were driving past London and Paris. I believe, this, amongst the other key observations, is amongst the top ten observations I have made. I have no idea where I should take these observations and what I ought to do with them. I feel rather confused and utterly bewildered. Almost quite dazed.

Fat Peoples. I, being not the skinniest of the skinniest skinnies, feel like one of the aforementioned skinniest of the skinniest skinnies, in this unskinniest unskinnidom of unskinny, by the unskinny and for the unskinny. I ordered a salad in a local restaurant near Buffalo and was served a week’s worth of fillings for three million sandwiches per hour. Absomalutely crazy.

Also, TV is different. So far, I’ve only found CNN and FOX news and about 300 different religious channels, all praising the lord and cashing in on religion while they’re at it. I imagine religion is big buziness over here. If I now drank for a few years, then picked myself up again and became a priest, I could become a millionaire. All you need to do is hold a bible and paraphrase it in a vaguely meaningful manner. Holy cow! It’s that easy. And after all, that’s what a BA in Politics with International Studies trains you for. Get a book and find the good stuff, and comment on it.

Also went to Canada. Made me happy.

That’s all folks. Remember to check it later. Right here and right away, I will be re-visiting my tomorrow’s visit to see the H-Amish community. Like W.A. Yankowich said it: gonna party like it’s 1699.

AMERICA HERE I COME…

Can I just point out that during my trip, I will aim to update this stuff as often as possible. Give ideas and observations, for free !

Going to New York tomorrow. Should really be asleep already, but I am too excited about it all.

Also, have to wait for laundry to dry.
