See Nuff See Nuff
Enough's enough.
This weekend, I drove to Eugene, Oregon, by way of Corvallis and something called Tigart. Or Tigard. Tie guard tigger. Whatever. I can say this about Oregon's biggest college towns:
- I found myself wondering, the entire time, what could've possibly driven someone to put a town there. The answer I kept finding for myself was "Why, to be close to the college." So why is the college there? To be close to the town? This truly reflects UW's position as an element of the great Seattle empire, which severely diminishes sports pride. It's all those ducks and beavers have to do.
- The general reaction to being from UW: "I'm sorry."
- Flat campus means getting lost easier. Up here, gravity helps you out.
It rained so much and the drive was so long that my wiper blades started to rub off on the windshield. And it never stopped raining. Still hasn't.

Today at the bookstore, I was asked by a college-age girl whether or not a grey (with some purple) sweatshirt she was buying was "manly enough" for her father. To re-cap: I was asked to judged manliness and strength by a complete stranger. If you want advice as well, get in line.
For example: don't be involved in a knee-to-the-crotch incident on Monday Night Football like UW alum Jerramy Stevens. It just keeps coming back to Husky Football
