Introducing Cory the coral snake, Terri the tarantula, and Porky the porcupine... local characters that I've seen hanging around my cabin in the last couple of weeks. (I didn't get pictures of the oppossum, the squirrel, the garden spider, the skink, the lizard, etc. etc. etc.)
Lost in the "In-Between", a Midwestern Anglo-Saxon descendent searches for commonality and a sense of place in this post-modern, post-politically-correct, post-American dream, post-EVERYTHING Brave New World of a high-tech surveillance police state polarizing the ignorant masses into hypnotic apathy or zealous outrage as lobbyists and politicians trade away the remnant freedoms of America's citizens.

America's Dirty Little Secret - WE ARE MAXED OUT!
Every voter and every high school kid should be required to watch this and take notes.
America's best kept secret is out - we're all barely living on the edge of economic survival. WE ARE MAXED OUT!
Also, be sure to watch the documentary - MAXED OUT. This movie is entertaining and relevant. It made my wife very upset. She even confessed to me secret debts she had never told me about before (to the tune of about $1500).
I have watched the movie - TRON. Does this increase my geek value?
