    People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

    Meanwhile in Shipshewana, IN

    (note the width of the improved shoulders of this section of state highway - it's for the horsies)

    we frequently stock up on cheese from this place

    It appears they are doing nothing more than weed-whacking.
    That scene sums up a great deal about the Japanese character...doing yardwork in a radioactive zone. It doesn't surprise me a bit.

    No matter if you need ice cream, t-shirts, film, union/confederate flags, or post cards. They have it all here.
