Well, the hippies next door are playing their bongos again. Which would be fine, because I like drums, but this particular hippie isn't terribly good. Get some rhythm, man! Tap into your suburban-white-boy angst!

I guess they're taking semi-musical advantage of a break in the near-constant rain (and totally sweet thunderstorms) we've been having the past two days. The Midwest certainly doesn't skimp on their severe weather. I did notice, however, that they did not take down their proudly-displayed East German Commie Flag. Taking your flag out of the rain is for bourgeois capitalists, man! Actually I suspect they were all too stoned to remember.

In other No Longer Relevant Fringe Group News, apparently Nazis* are coming to town tomorrow to have a protest on the Capital Mall. Tomorrow is also the day of the Nation's Biggest Farmer's Market. Let's think about this a second: Nazis + The Kind of People Who Buy Locally-Grown Organic Food + Lots of Throwing-Sized Fruits and Vegetables = Fun for the Whole Family! You can bet I'll be there to see what's happening. I'm pretty sure the hippies next door will be, too.

*I find Nazis' continued presence in today's world especially laughable, because seriously, who do they think they're kidding? There's apparently a counter-protest scheduled, but that's just feeding these idiots' delusions that they're important. Ignoring them would really be the biggest blow to their sad, pathetic psyches.
