Westville Thoughts
Nov. 30th, 2009 11:48 amSo, as readers of my blog know, I grew up in Westville, IL and still have family there. For holidays like Thanksgiving, I go back there to visit. With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, here is my "you might be in Westville if."
You Might Be in Westville If...
... you nearly get run down by a lady driving a golf cart and walking her dog down the street.
... the exciting thing in your day is going to the American Legion post for a mid-day drink.
... at the Legion bar, you order two mixed drinks, enter two drawings, and tip your bartender all from the same $5 bill.
... the local TV news leads with a story about how much of the corn harvest is in.
... the second lead on the local TV news is how many deer have been shot so far in hunting season. (BTW, both deer and corn harvests were lower than they should be at this time of year.)
Don't get me wrong - I like Westville, but it is a small town, and very different from my current lifestyle.
