Da hicks, sticks, and docks.....

Ok, so I realized today more than ever.....I'M A CITY GIRL!!!! And nothing is going to change that, I don't think. I live in St. Louis city now, and I'm more comfortable with the drug dealers in my neighbor's front yard than I am with three men in a truck with a large confederate flag emblazened upon the rear window. I'd rather encounter the bloods than the KKK.

I interviewed for a position in a county in rural MO that the world doesn't know exists. The court building was smaller than my house...and I saw the same number of black people that are probably on the moon right now...I sat and answered questions intelligently, as I wondered if the head prosecutor's nightlife included burning crosses on front lawns.

But...I had a good time....and the people I did meet were very very nice. But, I must admit that I was not operating in the highest level of comfort that life has to offer. I wasn't afraid, or sad.....just felt a little out of place. I was so happy to arrive on Enright today.....no place like home.
