I see white people
Despite mom's 1500 bps external modem (remember those?) connection boosted by the alpha test version of Windows 98, I do have occasional Internet connection. Yes, they do have the Internet in Wisconsin.
My flight went well yesterday, and I was pleased to see that they are now selling batterfried cheese curds at the Minneapolis Airport A&W Root Beer Stand. I took pictures of them, so stay tuned. I also took pictures of the caucasian blue collar workers. Yes, in some parts of the United States white people still perform manual labor.
It is Riverfest in LaCrosse, and I may go there with my brothers. The Mississippi and Delta Queen riverboats are in town too, which is kinda cool. Real paddleboats.

Being a white blue collar man in the U.S, I'd have to say yes there are a few of us left. "Few" being the operative word.

Jimbo - I can't get Elmo unparalyzed - even after casting the unparalyze spell. Is this a bug??

Paddle Boats? I've been a guest on the Delta and Mississippee (did I get all the vowels is?) and the American and the Cajun: in Cincinnati, we have "Tall Stacks" every 4 years. I volunteer the event. If you get a chance, take a lunch on the Delta- GREAT DINING!
