It's a few days until another round of basketball, & depressingly enough we aren't still playing. Other than rooting for the girls tonight, a new conference, recruiting or checking twitter to see if Shabazz is coming back, it's pretty slow.
Last year a Boneyard Pin was designed to identify Yarders at various games. I bought two, but often forget to put it on, or it's on the (other jacket). It's a great conversation starter once you realize somebody at a pub or a tailgate reads the Yard like you. Maybe it's a poster you've interacted with hundreds of times. I find it equally interesting, what a small world it is when those Avatar's you read daily are from your hometown, state, or a place you once lived. It really is a small world & I believe in six degrees of separation. Many of us know, work with, and are related to some of the same people & might not even know it. Some of us would prefer it that way, anyhow.
If you're willing to share, and the thread doesn't find it's way to the Cesspool, where do you live now? where have you lived? where did you grow up? Get to know your neighbors-
