Not that I really would have fit in, but it's the principle of the thing. That's about it, though. Otherwise, I rooted for the Steelers, went to the opera at Heinz Hall, worked in the coal mines ... you know, the usual, teen-aged Pennsylvania humdrum existence. You’re a riot, AJ. ;-)

The primary there has been going on for so long, that many of my friends and relatives have actually updated from matchlocks to flintlocks. God, however, remains as unchangeable and incomprehensible as always. Bitterness is not confined to Pennsylvania, but it flatters me to believe that it got it's great start there. I, myself, am fallen-away Amish, and feel it's my evolutionary duty to make up for lost generations of open hostility and gun-play. I feel bitter about joblessness, money, God and the extinction of Islay's chipped-chopped ham. Family style restaurants, Weaver's Lebanon bologna and Groundhog Day also irritate me. Also Erie. Especially Erie. Wishing us all a bitter, God-fearing, gun-toting day in Pa. (Don't forget to vote early and often!) Dear Jeff,
