Apparently Piscataquis County is a strange place.<BR/><BR/>Captain - I agree with you. I also seem to recall thousands of Steelers fans attending preseason games at FedEx Field over the years. I guess Redskins fans figured that wouldn't happen for a regular season game?<BR/><BR/>Carrie - To Kill a Mockingbird may be my favorite book and I tend to read it every few years. I also read Catcher in the Rye about once every 7 years. I don't know The Once and Future King. I'll check it out. Any other suggestions?<BR/><BR/>Paul - The amount of red counties is amazing. For years, I remember seeing Tompkins County, New York completely surrounded by red. I was surprised that Cortland went blue this election. Monroe County did well!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811858639259602946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-2903828683123828882008-11-06T18:58:00.000-05:002008-11-06T18:58:00.000-05:00It's crazy how much red is on the map.

Skip Hemingway and Dickens and go for some other classics. Salinger - Catcher in the Rye; Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird; White - The Once and Future King. The third one is kind of an odd choice for a classic, but for that reason, I name it!Carrie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798918478235074266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-90264465758441866982008-11-06T15:27:00.000-05:002008-11-06T15:27:00.000-05:00shouldn't DC sports fans be used to a disproportio...shouldn't DC sports fans be used to a disproportionate number of visting team fans at the DC teams' home games? the phone booth is like pittsburgh on the potomac when the pens come to town...<BR/><BR/>oh, and I <I>hated</I> hemmingway's the old man and the sea when I had to read it in high school...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-13710843340864115652008-11-06T13:46:00.000-05:002008-11-06T13:46:00.000-05:00Oh my god.
