Mactown

Chillen down in Macon right now, so not much to report. My buddy Steve O and his girl drove through today on the way up to STL from Fl, so hung out for a minute. One of my dad's friends, Caroline, stopped by and showed me some pictures from her last trip to St. Pete. St. Pete, Russia, that is! It was actually a pretty cool looking place. It's funny how we can get a certain idea in our heads about a place and then see pictures and know how way off we were in our thoughts. St. Petersburg Russia looks pretty modern, and I bet it is a lot more modern in many ways than our own country. We tend to toot our own horns too much, if you ask me, cuz St. Pete Russia looks a lot more spectacular than St. Pete FL in a lot of ways, yet we go around with it in or heads that we live in a far more advanced society than that of Russia. And that is just it, America, we need to wake up. There is a whole world around us that is just taking off and leaving us in the dust. We need to stop thinking of ourselves as God's gift to Earth, and realize we are all people. Everyone worldwide wants peace. Everyone has good intentions. We owe it to the rest of the world to try and do nothing but good things and try and not only improve just the lives of ourselves, but of everyone. Get involved!

Well, I believe your head is right where it needs to be. Glad you enjoyed the "trip" to St. Pete. Since I teach phonics all day long I feel compelled to address your spelling issues: "line" is spelled
l-i-n-e as in CaroLINE (your father made me tell you--I actually appreciated the fact that you put a silent "e" so it wasn't that bad).
Hope your independent study is going well.
Take lots of picts. of Argentina so we can see what's happening down there. Travel Safely!
