Why would a kid growing up in New Haven and history and culturally rich

When it comes to race relations, Maryland is a leader of the pack, eh?

"A national report by the same organization found that Maryland was the

I suppose you included Maryland in the 'et cetera', eh?

Perhaps you should spend a bit of time looking in your own back yard.

I have seen far more racism in Maryland and DC than I ever have in
Florida but I have not spent much time up in the south Georgia part.
My daughter went to school up in the pan handle and she says that
whole I-10 corridor is unreconstructed southerners.
Perhaps that is what Harry is referring to. He is a Jacksonville fan.


The "whole I-10 corridor" of Florida is very sparsely populated. There
are no substantial towns along it from Jacksonville to Tallahassee and
not much in the way of population from Tallahassee to Alabama. The
Jacksonville area is populated with over-religious, conservative and
backwards people, but Tallahassee is hardly that way. Even in
Jacksonville, though, the huge Baptist churches were integrated.
Catholics were the ones discriminated against...and I suspect the Jax
area was far too backwards to appeal to very many Jews.

I liked the seasonality of NE Florida, compared to southern Florida, and
I also liked the uncrowded beaches, the flora, the boating and the
fishing. But it was pretty much a cultural and intellectual wasteland,
otherwise.

If I were going to move back to Florida, I'd go for Fernandina in far NE
Florida, or somewhere around Ft. Lauderdale. Both are great for boating
and fishing and Ft. Lauderdale is not a cultural, intellectual and
overly religious wasteland.

Looks like you've gotten off the 'racism' kick and are now on the cultural and
intellectual kick. Well, southern MD is not your basic intellectual and cultural
hotbed, is it Krause?

I was wondering about that. If one wants intellectual and cultural stimulation, one doesn't move to Podunk, MD.

Hell, the *only* things MD have going for it are Annapolis and Box Hill Pizzeria crab cakes.

Well, the Calvert Marine Museum is pretty close to Huntingtown. And there's probably
an adult book store around there somewhere. So he's probably kept pretty well
stimulated. He does say he thinks about sex a lot.


I think about sex because I'm still having it. You seem to think a lot
about model airplanes, probably because you are not having sex.

Do you never stop bragging? I'll bet you were getting laid constantly during your
trip around the Horn, eh? Do you keep that Maryland Red barn shaking?


I'm sorry you've had to sublimate what little sex drive you have left
into so many hobbies.

Good to know you're so concerned with my sex life.

I wish I were half the manly man you are.

Harry, it's come to my attention that you are not very well liked hereabouts. I have
an idea for you: Try saying something nice about folks other than yourself. Who
knows, it may show good results.


I've complimented your very nice wife many times. I haven't seen "good"
results. I've complimented Skipper a few times for his writing
abilities, and pointed out that he was the only real rightie here who
could write, but, alas, he apparently died. No good came of that, either.

What do you have in mind?

My wife doesn't see your kind compliments, and that's most likely my fault.

What I had in mind was this: Try saying something nice about folks other than
yourself. Who knows, it may show good results.
