I posted the rattlesnake skulls.

Re: US Exodus... I also often feel ambivalent about living in the USA. It seems harder and harder to think freely without penalization these days, at least in the south (I've lived in Alabama and Georgia 95% of my life) it seems true, since so many conservatives emboldened by Republican success have been pushing for homogenezation. There are good things about the US and some wonderful places... but I have to mitigate living here with escape to other countries, so I sympathize! It's about time for me to leave again, I'm getting the wanderlust..
It would be nice to go to Germany, and to speak German... I went to Austria for a week once and didn't speak more than 5 words of German. I decided that would be the LAST time I went to a foreign country without some basic understanding of the language.
