We have some pretty terrible drivers. They act like they are the only ones on the road. Just about every single day you see someone doing something completely stupid and/or illegal.

It's sort of embarrassing that New York has a reputation as a sophisticated metropolis--and that reputation isn't always deserved.

Vegetarians have the same issue. Believe me, I know ~ I've worked with a lot of them.

Memphis must be little sister to Detroit.
Bad schools, crime, corrupt government and racial tension.
We also paid oodles and oodles of money to entice an NBA team to Memphis in 2000, a team that came in for last place in 96, 97, and 99, but hey, at least now we can say we have a professional sports team.

On flying into our airport, even after reading the tourist guides, people have been known to look out the window on approach and go, "Is that REALLY... no, it can't be, wait, it IS!" Exelon Corporation: Three Mile Island

Some people in Cincinnati are embarrassed by Jerry Springer, but Pete Rose embarrasses me more.

We have Tonya Harding, although she's always been a "burbs" girl rather than a Portlander.

How proud I am.
