Reply #11: My take on some family members

[sandnsea]

It's my family, goddammit, so I can say what I like about them!!!

Missouri and Arkansas, the Arkansas ones are the worst. Here's what I noticed. You meet them for 15 minutes and you know everything about them that you'll ever know. That's all there is. I have known my brother-in-law for 25 years now, and he hasn't changed, grown, revealed more opinions or ideas, nothing in 25 years. He's a nice enough guy, he's a civil engineer so he's not stupid, but otherwise, there just isn't much going on upstairs. They really are just that simple. Go to work, get married, have a family, go to church, pay the bills, go fishing or hunting or shopping, and then you die. That's really all there is.

Maybe the heat makes thinking too exhausting, I don't know.
