Impressions

Somewhere along the line this month this blog passed the 100,000 page impression barrier...God only knows how many of those was me fussing over the layout. We here at YASR Headquarters in Relevant Tower in the Greater YASR Plaza in downtown Seattle celebrated with a company wide conference video call/party with our satellite office in Indiana. Who would have thought C.S. would moon everyone? Now that he's a lawyer he thinks he can get away with everything.

Poison Control Center

What encompasses the Midwest? Like pornography, I can't really describe it but I know it when I see it.

Some basic ground rules: Ohio is not in the Midwest. Any state in the Eastern Time zone is not in the Midwest...I almost want to say the Midwest is west of the Mississippi and East of the Rockies but then you're eliminating Wisconsin and Illinois...Also, any state that fought in the Confederacy isn't in the Midwest...they are in the South. End of discussion. This eliminates Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.

I think of this as I listen to my Midwest brothers, Poison Control Center from Ames, Iowa.

They have a great little ditty "Glory Us" which reminds me of Eels vocals vs. Mates of State's organ.

Poison Control Center -- Glory Us
