It's three AM. I have to get up in two hours.

[Maddy McCall]

Might as well stay awake. Damn these household chores that had to be done before we leave tomorrow--er, today.

Who else is still up?

And, Kleeb, congrats! on your graduation!!! Smart kid. :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

1. Thanks

Yeah I am up. I graduated this past wednesday and I got the PM about what happened, plus last night I saw a really good movie about the murders of the civil rights workers in Mississiphi last night.

[Maddy McCall]

5. I knew you'd be up.

Did you see Mississippi Burning last night? It has some flaws--the FBI agents in the movie were much more heroic than they really were in Mississippi. For instance, civil rights workers would go to the FBI and give them info about Klan activity, and the FBI would just ignore them and tell them that they couldn't do anything unless they caught them in the act.

I talked to a guy at the trial who told me that he was a civil rights worker in Meridian, and he had volunteered to ride with Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney on their fateful last trip to Neshoba, but Mickey Schwerner would not let him ride with them because he was only 17, and they expected there to be trouble.

This guy that I talked to told me that, after the civil rights workers went missing, and as authorities combed the state for them, they actually found many other bodies of slain black men around the state--he said "Bodies surfaced like crazy" but that they were never reported because all that mattered at the time was finding the THREE bodies together--one black man and two white men. Such a disgrace in the history of my state.

I'm so glad that Killen is behind bars. I understand that there will be an appeal hearing this week. I may go back for that, too.

Have you decided which college you will attend?

[JohnKleeb]

9. Yep it was on encore mystery

Wow and I thought the cops specifically Anderson(Hackman( when hes beating the shit of the guy Brad Dourif plays was pretty heroic. It was pretty interesting. Yep, I am going to Northern Virginia Community College, I even planned my classes, I am acutally gonna take an Honors history course. Thanks again, btw doing great despite having a rough past few days.

2. It's 5:21AM and I'm still up

But I don't have to get up at all tomorrow if I don't want.

4. Newfoundland, Canada must be really far east

Maine is 1.5 hours behind you. I've been to Canada from Quebec westward. Maybe some day I will get to visit those eastern provinces.

[ghostsofgiants]

8. Yeah

I'm in the middle of that weird misshapen L-looking island.

[Droopy]

11. Is there a bridge from the mainland?

Or does everything come by ship and ferry?

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Nope, no bridge.

All ship/ferry/airplane.

[Droopy]

15. That's cool as fuck

I will have to get up that way and ride a ferry across in my big truck. I once had the opportunity to take a load to Prince Edward Island from Seattle in my big truck. I turned it down because I was an owner operator at the time and the load didn't pay enough. I now wish that I had taken it just for the experience.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Cool

Newfoundland is much larger than PEI, but yeah, might be an interesting experience if you're not from here.

[illbill]

18. I'm in Manitoba,Canada

[ghostsofgiants]

20. Cool

I've never been that far west. Furthest I've been is Ottawa I think...or London, whicever is furthest west, haha.

[illbill]

21. lol.

London I think.... Aunt lives there but I'm not sure if it is further west. You have to travel more! Go to BC or Calgary.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Haha, I would

But being a poor jobless university student tends to hinder travel.

[illbill]

23. What you taking?

I'm finishing up a political science degree this year at UofManitoba.

[ghostsofgiants]

25. I'm doing political science as well actually

[Droopy]

3. I'm still up

I work odd hours. But as soon as I finish my beer I'm going to hit the hay.

[Maddy McCall]

7. Ummmm. Beer. GOOD.
