Teaching English Abroad

Depends on where you are.  New York isn't, but unimportant places like Wyoming, Kentucky or Kansas, as well as poor places like California definitely are.

This coming from a guy in Alberta. 

Oil is the great equalizer.

He tries so hard.

I do like the idea that California is an important backwater though.

[Neil]

The United States isn't a backwater.

Nor is Europe

Depends on where you are in Europe.  London, northern France, northwestern Germany aren't.  Southern Italy, Scandinavia, Spain and eastern Europe are.

Well, we produce bourbon and the world's finest horses.  When civilization collapses, you will want horses to ride around on (since the distro network for oil will break down) and bourbon to drown your sorrows in.

Correct re: southern Italy.  They drive on the sidewalks and dump their trash on the street there.

Inland California is just a desert with Sacramento in there someplace...

Somebody has been reading Horseclans again.

[Caliga]

Somebody has been reading Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman Horseclans again.

Fixed.

On a related note, it seems like Princesca doesn't really like being called 'Wild Horse Woman'.    I may have to stop calling her that.

There's a class at Brown for like $1095 on teaching English next month, but I already know half the shit on the syllabus.
Also, I'm cheap.

Liquor can be made anywhere.  As for horses, you think we don't have them here?

I was at my sister-in-law's wedding, and there were people from the groom's side of the family that had cowboy hats and boots, and enormous belt buckles.

Who goes to university to learn?
Its the bit of paper that you go for.

I think you might have meant "Inland Southern California" or perhaps even "the Inland Empire."

Bourbon can't (well, good bourbon anyway).

If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably keep going to a few classes a year until I keeled over. I love college.

They don't grow corn anywhere else but kentucky?
