Update for Everyone VI: What Is and What Should Never Be

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Update: He's been found! The sister of my father's colleague called to say that she found a parrot in her building. We quickly arrived, and without a shred of doubt it's him. The little rascal managed to make his way to the city's center, fairly far away from our home. He's weak and tired, but hopefully with some food, rest and water will get better!

You found a lost bird? That's actually quite impressive!

Nice, Parrotguy!

In other news, I won an award at a Model UN conference today for successfully convincing a bunch of bored teenagers to gut America’s campaign finance system, and I’m not sure how I feel about it

[Kingpoleon]

That’s good news, Parrotguy.

And the most impressive part: the bird basically found us

It's actually a name of habit. My family had several birds through the years, and I used that username in all sorts of places, so it just... Stuck.

Lol, I nearly went to the Model UN thing myself. University doesn't leave much time, though.

I guess spilling a protein drink all over a laptop doesn't destroy it. Who knew.

I just got home from my trip. Flew from Jacksonville to O’Hare then Green Bay, spent a few days in Green Bay in a hotel with my girlfriend, then went to Washington Island in Door County where she lives. I was supposed to leave for the airport Tuesday morning, but the wind storm was awful and shut down the ferry, which is the only way on and off the island. So, I decided to stay a while longer and got greyhound bus tickets for Saturday. Spent since 11am CST in bus stations and on buses going from Green Bay back home to the Jacksonville area. It was cool seeing all of that part of the country and meeting lots of different people. I got to see Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta, along with all the scenery along the highways in between.

Anyway, for those interested, it went amazing with my girlfriend, whom I met online in August. We hit it off so well and I truly, truly love this girl. We’re so eager to work out a way to live together as soon as possible that’s reasonable and realistic since neither of us are rich people. But, I love her and she loves me, so we’ll find a way. It was an amazing experience being with her and an interesting trip across that part of the country.

And here’s a picture of us at Green Bay’s Garden of Lights...

Dude that's awesome! I've been awaiting this post. After a couple of days I was starting to worry though

Actually, dreams can come true in this modern age WAY more than in previous ages
This is awesome, Jacobin! Hopefully you two can live together soon!

I can appreciate your experience. When I was in college, and more so in grad school, Greyhound was the only way I could afford to travel between home, school, and friends. It's one of the experiences that contributed to my love of road trips to this day.

so glad to hear it went well! and so exciting to get to have that experience on top of that!

Gorgeous AND a great personality? You’re really lucky, Jacobin, to find someone whom you love and who loves you back. 

[JA]

Thank you to all of you guys for your kind words! I’m exhausted from the trip, but still so excited about everything. I know that I’m such an incredibly lucky person for not only finding this amazing girl who loves me, but for finding love altogether. I hope that everyone here can meet someone great and get to see the beauty of our country from the road.

Based solely on what I could see from the bus, I definitely think Chicago, Atlanta, and Milwaukee were the most beautiful cities, although Green Bay is lovely too and small enough that that’s where I’d prefer to live. The most beautiful scenery I saw was in Door County, Wisconsin and the area around Chattanooga, Tennessee. Below are some pictures from Door County...

Wow that's beautiful. Especially the church- it looks magical.

That old Norwegian Church is called Stavkirke. It’s truly beautiful inside as well and was designed as a replica of the Borgund, Norway Stavkirke built in 1050 AD. Behind it is a prayer path with several posts featuring verses from the Bible that run through the woods. I walked some of the path. There’s also a book in the church where locals and tourists wrote their names, mostly couples and wedding parties, so I wrote our names as well in the book. The Bible they have was donated and features images painted by a famous artist - perhaps Picasso, but I can’t recall for certain.
