But, for those of thus who come from civilization (read: either coast), it's difficult to remain in this town for longer than a few years. Most of my friends share the same view I do.<br /><br />Madison is small, very slow, and has zero diversity. There are lots of places to eat, but as for "ethnic" food, nothing that really stands out (except for the superb/dumpy/hidden Asian One).<br /><br />My problem is htat you can do pretty much all there is to do in the first year or two you live here. It's a beautiful place, but I outgrew it pretty quickly. One more year!<br /><br />In the words of Bob Dylan (just for you, Ann): I'm going back to New York City, I do believe I've had enough.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04080336901124818310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-776965967922316052012-07-26T00:42:29.418-05:002012-07-26T00:42:29.418-05:00That's very kind, Heyboom, but I'm also a ...That's very kind, Heyboom, but I'm also a stupid-racist-anti-intellectual- braggadocio-hillbilly-wingnut with a woman's liver, a titanium rib-cage, and no sense of style or appreciation of art.

Well, I say bullshit, but I can do it.<br /><br />Last night we had a 3.7 Richter quake and the epicenter was directly under my house. The thing is that it was just after 3am, and for some reason I woke up just about 1 minute before it hit. I rarely wake up at that time. That's when I'm dead to the world.<br /><br />It shook the house for about 2 seconds pretty hard, but didn't knock anything over, and it was not noticed very far away. My five dogs all jumped up and started running around barking, but not until <i>after</i> it happened. <br /><br />I think I need to be studied as a quake psychic. It might be related the probing I received from the aliens last Valentines Day. They told me - with the little squeaks like they do - that I would be very sensitive afterward, but I din't think they meant this. Anyway, it's a gift.bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82816315030724481022012-07-25T21:56:50.715-05:002012-07-25T21:56:50.715-05:00"Eat it wingers.
