Bowling Green

I had a fantastic show at Grumpy Dave's in Bowling Green, Ohio, home of Bowling Green State University -- and the National Tractor Pulling Championships.

Why pull a tractor? Isn't the entire point of a tractor
"drawing, towing or pulling something which cannot
propel itself," as from the Latin root "tract," to pull?
Pulling a tractor is like ... locking up the boot on your
car so it doesn't get stolen. Or putting on foundation
to cover up your hideous makeup job.

I have two cousins who go to this school who didn't come to the show, but a guy with trendy-nerdy glasses told me three times how much he liked The History of Western Philosophy in 90 Seconds, and I autographed a postcard for a guy named Hubcap. Glory be!

Hey, at least one cousin was seriously contemplating delaying her flight to FL to come see the show. :)

I'll be sure to kick the arses when I go home for Christmas. Or least give them a stern talking to. Or something.

Great show in BG, Jen. Hope you come back to Grumpy Dave's despite my trendy-nerdy glasses. (you should recognize Navy B.C.G.s, you "brat").
