Journal CmdrTaco's Journal: What's it like in Dexter?

So I work in a little armpit town called Dexter. It's outside of Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan. A great college town, with good food, concerts etc. Fantastic place to live. Dexter is a bit different. Like most of America, A2 is expanding and gobbling up the towns around it. Dexter, just a few decades ago was a little farm town. Now it is this wierd hybrid of people who bought 1 acre lot McMansions to escape the "City", and locals who have lived here for decades.

Today I finally found the perfect way to represent my town. This Trailer Hitch perfectly sums up Dexter. It was photographed just outside our office door. It raises many questions- not the least of which is How do you Get Away With That? With all the PC crap, is not a nutsack trailer hitch beyond the bounds of good taste? Now mind you the owner of this truck is my new hero. Personally, I think children ought to see things like this whenever possible. It builds character. It will make them strong.

The truck pulled away moments later. Gone forever. But I like to believe that he's just down the road, at the local elementary school picking up his own child amidst the throngs of screaming young'uns.
