Ooof. Middle America and mediocrity share more than the same etymological roots. I sit in a Panera Bread, a chain I did not know of, as there are no such beasts in Vermont, listening to mulish and none-too-bright knuckelheads talk excessively loudly via webcam to their none-too-bright families... An experience akin to listening to some dullard yak at volume with some half-wit o'er his ridiculous cellphone, as he stands right next to you... My misanthropy hasn't dwindled in the last few months.

How America does not produce more serial killers, I cannot fathom. Flipside of the same coin, how I have managed to not eviscerate some twit is beyond me as well.

I hope to be 'back East' in a month, back to my books and my guns. Ha.
