Whitey McWhiteville

Twice in the past two weeks, I've been to Cullman to visit a friend. Cullman has got to be the whitest place on Earth. Seriously, folks, I can't remember a time I was surrounded by so many crackers. To be honest, I didn't really notice at first, because I am white, but as I was remembering the town's history (or what I imagine to be its history), I started noticing the complete lack of diversity in the place.

It's strange to me, and it makes me glad that I live somewhere that has lots of people from all over the world. Unfortunately, most of them are engineers, which limits the interaction potential (no offense, engineers!), but still, this town has people from all over the world.

So fare well, Cullman, and I'll see you again at Christmas.

(Apologies for the short post - I've got to board my flight to DC now.)
