whoa, horsie

time marches on. right past those of us who may want to stand still.

i was looking at scotland on google earth and decided to check out my old haunts. the sleepy little berg in missouri has changed. i used to be able to walk downtown (about 3 blocks), walk through town, walk around town -- no biggee. our house lived about a block from the country. now, the house i used to live in, though still close to downtown is faaaaaarrr away from the country. the town looks like it has expanded by 3 or 4 times.

so i checked out the tiny little town i used to love in western nebraska. it was around 5 blocks by 5 blocks, outskirts to outskirts. now, although not as changed as the place in missouri, it has also grown bigger.

in my alternate universe, i am going to pick out the things i liked about all my favorite places and make them permanent. and only my favorite people can be there. yes, that includes you!
