Dispatch From Illinois

(Blogging by Blackberry)

The LTR and I crossed the Wabash intpo Indiana to hit the closest shopping mall (Eastland Mall in Evansville) to wrap up our Christmas shopping. We also got guest passes at a local gym.

Two things of note:

The guys at the gym were friendly. Not at all the standoffish surliness we encounter often in our home gyms.

The other was the Indiana license plate. The words "In God We Trust" floating over a waving American flag. I had been telling LTR how disturbed I was about the increasing intermingling of government and religious belief. Here was symbolic proof.

The "In Rational Science We Trust" or even "In Mohammad We Trust" was strangley absent.

A look back at Luke and Noah falling in love this year on As The World Turns. Happy Holidays!
