Comments on: Day 4, Hello, Vicksburg! http://ted.dintersmith.org/2010/02/17/day-4-hello-vicksburg/ A travel blog reporting on our family's adventures -- big and small Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:10:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Helen Morey Gallo http://ted.dintersmith.org/2010/02/17/day-4-hello-vicksburg/#comment-15240 Helen Morey Gallo Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:01:31 +0000 http://ted.dintersmith.org/2010/02/17/day-4-hello-vicksburg/#comment-15240 OK so first of all you do know you are all quite mad, yes? But in the most wonderful and inspiring sort of way so keep it up! Second, in honor of Rosie's combination bath/poop extravaganza, I located a site I hope you have not yet already found: PORKOPOLIS. I quote: "Porkopolis.org is a collection of arts, literature, philosophy and other varied considerations of the pig. In the irreducible complexity of what we call nature, pigs are one of the most iconic and paradoxical animals ever to have developed a relationship with man. Some form of pig has been visibly present in the vast majority of human societies. The pig is a grand character in much of human’s cultural history." Third, please tell E I hope she is mending and look forward to catching up when you finish this latest jaunt! XO, Helen OK so first of all you do know you are all quite mad, yes?
