< previous day | archives | next day >
I've had enough travel for a bit and as long as I have a nice Lowe's next door to the last night's Wal-Mart I've decided to stay here for the day and catch up on some domestic chores. And remove the old defunct swamp cooler from the roof of the Lazy Daze and patch the 14 x 14 inch hole it leaves in the roof.
Night camp: Wal-Mart in Leeds AL
Fit In Better
We Americans hail from families of immigrants newly arrived, seeking approval from better-established immigrants deposited by the previous boat. Even the best adjusted of us have inherited a message of social inferiority from generations of moms telling generations of kids to fit in better, speak English better, display better manners, etc. I suggest that this heritage weighs on us more than we want to acknowledge at levels we don't want to address.
