Even Pennsylvania has jumped on the "Blog Bandwagon" as I call it. Check this out:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TRAVEL/06/07/life.blog.reut/index.html

"The state tourism office has created six blogs for selected "real people" to record their visits to prime Pennsylvania locations over the summer in exchange for their expenses paid."


What a job! How do these people find these jobs? Why can't I find some place that will pay for my summer-long vacations if I share my experiences with the world? Is this the "reality tv" for the Internet? I wonder if PA is going to stage some drama on one or two of their bloggers' trips...that would be funny.

"I choose what sites to visit and take it as it comes," said Robert McCreary, a 37-year-old computer software salesman from Chalfont, Pennsylvania."


Maybe I'll campaign in Delaware and be the first to spend taxpayers money on my statewide adventures: EXTRA! EXTRA! Read All About It! Delawarian Visits...um...the beach...where else?! Wink Just kidding...Delaware is filled with historical nougat...

Delaware is famous for once being a part of Pennsylvania. The three counties that make up DE were known as the 'lower counties' of Pennsylvania. William Penn gave it up because they had very little value. Penn used a hat to draw the border of PA and DE and Mason & Dixon were quarrelling over where the PA/DE/MD state lines were until 1976 when congress stepped in with a satellite picture to correct it. That's your history lesson for today.

Delaware is also famous for it's mass production of chicken and SCRAPPLE!!! Don't know what scrapple is? Google it. Never had it? Next time you're in the area, you gotta try it. Scrapple is the mixedmeat of the heavens...

And then there are the chesapeake bay blue crabs... and the oysters... Delaware's got lotsa cool stuff. Oh, and tax free shopping? **** yeah!!! Not to mention it's one of the most popular places to have your business registered in... the least amount of taxes anywhere. LOTS of corps are hqed in DE...

I recently heard that our state slogan should be Your money is here, you should be too! Or it was something along those terms...

Rapa is horrible! Kirby & Holloway is the BEST scrapple maker. Period. Rapa's falls apart too easily. K&H put that extract bit of Pig Snout in there to hold it together. Plus also i like my scrapple with a crispy outside and soft and chewy inside. MMMmMmMMmmm. Scrapple.

I spent my yonger years in...oh I hate to admit it....New Jersey. The armpit of America....what a horrible horrible state New Jersey is. So we grew up with things like scrapple, soft prtezels, hoagies, cheesesteaks etc. None of which actually came out of New Jersey...actually - I can't think of anything good that came out of New Jersey except me.
