Jack Vettriano

Is he Scotland's answer to Thomas Kinkade and Norman Rockwell, or the successor to Edward Hopper?

Incidentally, I find it amusing that Wikipedia refers to my hometown as a 'city'. For you Northwesterners, that's like calling Sequim a city. For you Midwesterners, that's like calling Warsaw (the one in Indiana, not the one in Poland) a city.

Also, South Bend is the fourth largest city in Indiana. I think this is another reason for me to dislike Indiana intensely.

Compared to Placerville, Yakima is a bustling metropolis.

I like some of the people -- not everyone is a crazy, Bush-loving, vagina-hating Christian. It's just that the demographic balance heavily favours the crazy, Bush-loving, vagina-hating Christians. (NB I'm not saying all Christians are the crazy, Bush-loving, vagina-hating sort, here or elsewhere. The sane, peace-loving, vagina-friendly theists are just as awesome as the sane, peace-loving, vagina-friendly atheists.)

Also, the little pockets of nature and family farms tucked between the agribusiness holdings and sprawling commercial strips are nice.
