Hey, you . . . (Pt. 3)

| January 23rd, 2008

Hey! I noticed you visit my blog. That’s cool. I thought I’d return the favor by visiting you (cyper-spacially speaking). Here are a few tidbits about you that you might not know.

La Vergne, Tennessee: Hey there Rocky Top. Besides having a very cool name and being the fastest growing community in Tennessee, you also have a Mission Statement and a Vision Statement! Sounds like you are on a roll! Carry on, La Vergne. Carry on.

Ronneby, Sweden: Ronneby, you are ghost on Google! I can’t find anything on you except that in the 19th century you were a much frequented spa. Also, if you’d like to call Dr. Jan-Olof Gustavsson at the Blekinge Institute of Technology, the number is: [+46] (0)457-385725. Tell her/him I said ‘Hi’.

Gainesville, Virginia: Hey. You are made up of 2,162 males and 2,220 females. That’s a difference of 58 more females. That’s interesting because 58 is the seventeenth discrete bi-prime. Coincidence? I think not.

San Lorenzo, California: Did you know you were one of the nation’s first entirely planned communities? That’s right. Back in 1944, a guy by the name of David Bohannon planned it all out . . . complete with shopping center.

Amarillo, Texas: Home of the Big Texan Steak Ranch!  Amarillo, you and I go back a long way. I’ve passed through you dozens of times on my way to Taos, NM (where my Mom is from). One of my most memorable childhood moments happened on your hallowed grounds at the Big Texan. I happened to be there during feeding time for that huge rattlesnake. Yup. I watched two little rodents being placed in it’s big glass aquarium. The 6-footer paralyzed them with one strike and then proceeded to slowly unhinge his jaws and swallow them whole. I can still see the last rat’s tail slithering into the old rattler’s mouth. Steak anyone?
