10:47 pm - News from the Hometown
The quaint little (popoulation 8153 (2000 Census)) village of friendly people where I grew up and where my folks still live is in the news in India! There's totally a brewing religious turf war between the Palatine Sikhs and the Island Lake Sikhs. It's so big they're already talking about it in India. Best know what side you're on before you venture through that neck of the woods!
I really wish someone had video of 14 Palatine Sikhs showing up at a Wauconda motel at 4 in the morning to harrass the Island Lake Sikh for getting spiritually jiggy ("counceling") with his special lady friend. That had to be completely surreal.
Current Mood:
amused

off topic: zach, i have lost all means outside of LJ to contact you, and i am alone in a sea of my own self pity and loathing because of it.
email me some contact info, i've got some questions for you, and things like that. rolandkale@hotmail.com
sorry to muck up the post.

i post this now, and then go to check my facts. hee hee.
I'm always amused when I'm driving around with people unfamiliar with the area and the point occurs when they say, "Oh that's why it's called 'Lake-Cook Road'!" I've always thought it was pretty obvious, but I suppose not.
