I've played scrabble online for about 16 years. I know the Urban Dictionary somewhat. LOL

That makes me think of Batsto village in New Jersey. It's not a national park, but it is a historic park and has a blacksmith shop. (And it's one of my favorite places). I don't think the blacksmith was homeless.

I agree. It becomes more and more difficult to bear.

In a Civil War reenactors' forum, in a discussion about clueless questions asked by the public at reenactments:
"The cheif problem is the Educational System in America you hear how we are like 30th in Math and Science but in History I would venture a guess to say we are even lower...the Civil War gets glazed over even more in a Week or less."

I get kind of glazed over too, when reading things like this about our "Educational System in America".

Yeah, that stuff happens A LOT in rural areas, and a gas station isn't really the place where brightest work, and even if they did see it, then they probably didn't care. I don't think they took grammar and professionalism classes. Another thought could be that they have a whacky lasagna that they call the "lasaunya"
lol but really. this was probably in some small rural area, where they could honestly (including the community) care less about that.
