It's amazing to me how many eastern European immigrants there are in/around Parma. Mostly I'm amazed by the wide variety of ages because I thought the tendency to immigrate for people from the same countries to all immigrate to the same place had diminished a lot. I don't know why I thought that, or whether there's any validity to it, but it's not something I would have expected.

He keeps picking on me.
I guess I keep falling for it too, no?
Also, when did this happen?
I think it's a tendency for new immigrants to gravitate towards 'cultural centers' so to speak. A couple of generations down the line, the children assimilate and find shelter elsewhere. I think they still maintain close ties with the original area as they have family there.
I need to find a book to read on immigrant communities. Anyone got one?
I want to read the stories of other immigrants over different generations.

Making a kilometer blurry
Got to the airport at 4:30am yesterday. Did some business that unfortunately wasn't programming. Got back to the airport at 11pm yesterday.
Got up at 6 today and it wasn't easy.

Thanks for calling me on it, I guess. It just seems that every time I give any sort of opinion, it shatters someone's world view to the point where they're completely offended and have to take issue with me instead of what I said.
Just saw what you wrote.
Feel free to state your case. I'm sorry that you feel that way and think that the only way you can communicate what you think is in a harsh and 'non constructive' way.

I hate buying cloths.
How do Voler race cut jerseys fit?
Height = large
Weight = medium
Waist, chest = small
Medium race fit for LG and Champsys seem to work fine. Guess I'll just go medium?
edit; champsys, not champion.
